Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law
by Mary Roach
Buy on AmazonMary Roach is your favorite party friend. Her stories crackle with wit and gumption, and each leaves you thinking: “I can’t believe she did that… and I very much wish I’d been there.” In Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, Roach shadows Vatican rat catchers, investigates simulated animal attacks in a Reno conference center, and (yes) learns how to build a better mousetrap. But the magic of Roach’s work is what lurks just below the surface of each of her escapades: her gentle meditations on how we all might live as better stewards of a planet we share.
