Mary Roach returns to Bullseye to talk about her latest book. She’s the author of nine books, all of them nonfiction. Take Grunt, it’s the science of war, and how soldiers on the battlefield are kept alive. Or Stiff, it’s an examination of how we as a society have interacted with cadavers: past, present and future. Mary’s newest book is called Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. It’s a book about how humans have tried – and failed to manage nature. Bears that break into dumpsters. Moose stepping into traffic. Gulls that eat papal flower arrangements. We’ll talk with her about how the book impacted how she interacts with animals in her day-to-day life. Plus, why killer beans and danger trees are included in a book that is mostly about stories from the animal kingdom.
