Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War by Mary RoachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Grunt is the latest in Mary Roach's series of best selling "The Science of" books. This time she's looking at war and the soldiers who wage it. Primarily a series of essays each touching on one aspect or another. As always in her books bodily fluids, this time in the form of diarrhea, are front and center. Interesting stuff, I'd never really stopped to think about the role diarrhea might play in warfare. Runny bowels aside I found the most interesting topic to be groin injury and the potential possibility of penis transplants becoming a viable option.
