I look forward to reading her other titles - Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, and Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife.

Love love love her. Don't forget
Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal!
Stiff remains my favorite- I even taught a class on it a few years back
