Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

Praise for Mary Roach There is much to enjoy about Mary Roach--her infectious awe for quirky science and its nerdy adherents, her one-liners...She is beloved, and justifiably so.-- Jon Ronson, New York Times Book ReviewOur most consistently entertaining science journalist...Roach goes where other writers wouldn't dare...And her search produces images--a kind of technopoetry--that are hard to forget.-- O, The Oprah MagazineNobody does weird science quite like [Mary Roach].-- Lexi Pandell, Wired[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter...[She] has a knack for posing the embarrassing, nonlinear and too obvious questions that others are always afraid to ask.-- Pamela Paul, New York Times Book Review[Roach's books are] meticulously researched, beautifully written, and disturbingly funny...Roach's prose is a triumph--an engaging blend of anecdote, research, and reflection...She's the most courageous--and empathetic--science writer we've got.-- Emily Rapp Black, Boston GlobeRoach excels in capturing science's 'foreign country' aspect--roaming as a stranger in a strange land among its weird norms and novelties, grand monomaniacal passions, practitioners' idiosyncrasies and obscure lexicon...She writes exquisitely about the excruciating.-- Stephen Phillips, Los Angeles Times
