Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed by Carl Zimmer

4.0

When I think of tattoos, I don't usually think of equations or the skeletons of long-dead animals. But the pictures in the book are of just that. Zimmer shows the pictures of tattoos, along with a description of why the person got the tattoo and some scientific background. The science parts are quite general and easy for anyone to understand. The book is divided into sections by discipline and in addition to an index there is a very useful visual index.
