Some good stories, some dumb ones, some funny ones, some I didn't even want to read. Kind of a mixed bag.
This book reminded me that science isn't always as straightforward as I think, but this title was fun nonetheless. However, the last chapter made me feel a bit ill- some people do some strange things to themselves in the name of science.
A collection of mad, foolhardy and gross scientific advancements that have been made by scientists that are on the very edge of the scientific community.
Covers people who have eaten all manner of things, have poisoned themselves, have tried to tech chimp to become low IQ worker and pushed their own bodies to the limits of what they could do.
The chapter on electricity is fascinating, as this was an age of discovery. The psychology chapter has been covered in greater detail in other books, but fits well in here. Some of the things that scientists and the military industrial complex wanted to do with nuclear bombs is quiet scary. The final chapter is gross.
