About this book
Mary Roach explores digestion through encounters with researchers, unusual experiments and the history of scientific curiosity about the body. Her investigation begins with a little known attempt to develop food for space travel. The popular science account examines the machinery behind eating, giving attention to questions and laboratory work that ordinary discussions of food tend to overlook.
