Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal

Gulp is a fascinating journey into the invisible realm we carry around inside, exploring the alimentary canal in all its taboo, surreal glory.

Mary Roach takes us on an unforgettable tour, meeting scientists who tackle questions no one else thinks of or has the courage to ask, and traveling the world to meet murderers, mad scientists, Eskimos, exorcists, rabbis, and terrorists (who, it turns out, do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts).

With Roach's infectious enthusiasm for quirky science and her love of weird science, this book is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

Whether you're curious about why crunchy food is so appealing or how much you can eat before your stomach bursts, Gulp has all the answers (and more).

So why wait? Order now and embark on this hilarious and informative adventure into the mysteries of the alimentary canal!
