Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach

Join Mary Roach for an incredibly fascinating and wildly entertaining adventure through our hardy digestive system. Along the way, we encounter wacky scientists, strange diets, bizarre medical fads, and much more. Even though we know how the story ends, the journey along the way is really quite miraculous (and in the hands of Ms. Roach, hilarious!).
