Reviews

"Packed with enough material to challenge any would-be science-fiction writer, and proves truth in a lab coat is stranger than fiction." --The Saturday Evening Post "Boese, a historian of science, once again takes readers on a romp through some of the weirder detours on the road to scientific progress." --The Boston Globe "Delves into the extremes some will reach for the sake of science. . . . Boese reveals just how far some will go to appease their empirical curiosities." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Electrified Sheep quite brilliantly explains some of the more bizarre experiments performed in the name of scientific discovery with lashings of intellectual humour and a surprising amount of quality storytelling." --Chemistry World (UK) "A strangely compelling look at some of the bizarre, outlandish and peculiar experiments that have been attempted in the name of science." --Penny Le Couteur, coauthor of Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History "Perfect summertime reading--preferably with a friend nearby who can be constantly interrupted with unsettling facts." --The Daily Mail (UK ) "Laugh-out-loud funny." --Publishers Weekly
