Review: Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Mary Roach once again obsessively explores the obsessive exploration on the fringes or science - natural and needed stuff shunted out of polite convseration and prime time television. Roach meets the investigators and explorations along the alimentary canal from Alexis St. Martin's wound (anf similar cases) to spit and poo scientists and the nitty-gritty of flatuence.
Excellent narrator, too.
