Mary Roach, Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War
Mary Roach is one of our very favorite writers here at Kepler's and we're so pleased to host her during a truly unique event.
You're in for a treat because Mary Roach will be the featured guest on a very special evening edition of In Deep Radio, hosted by longtime Bay Area journalist Angie Coiro. Mary will also sign books after the show.
Mary is a funny and fascinating writer who first arrived in San Francisco in the early 1980s. The writer went on to write six hugely popular science books including Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (2008), and Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal (2013).
As you can see, the common theme throughout Mary's books is a literary treatment of the human body. When asked by NPR how she picks her topics, she replied, "Well, it's got to have a little science, it's got to have a little history, a little humor - and something gross."
Her new book Grunt tackles the science behind being a soldier. In it, Mary visits a re-purposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for facing combat wounds. She also samples caffeinated meat, sniffs a WWII stink bomb, and tends to the missiles on a nuclear submarine. Come take a tour of duty with Mary Roach on In Deep Radio, and you'll never see the art of war the same way again.
