Cheap ● Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

DETAILS

“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 Review

“Our 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 Magazine

“Nobody 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 Globe

“Roach 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
