There's nothing like reading science books from the 80s!
Gorman is a scientist-turned-humor-writer and is so entertaining! On many occasions, I thought I was reading Douglas Adams. He writes about neurobiology, evolution, flea farms, toilet mechanical engineering, and all sorts of other stuff. His style is casual and witty while covering a wide breadth of science and technology. What more can you ask for?

A collection of shorts by science writer with a sense of humor. I enjoyed his mix of humor and scientific facts to weave a tapestry of chuckles and learnings. I bought it from half-priced books based on the cover and description for some light reading while on lunch from CompUSA. It filled the gap perfectly!
