If left to their own devices, would babies instinctively choose a well-balanced diet? Discover the secret of how to sleep on planes. Which really tastes better in a blind tasting - Coke or Pepsi?

Elephants on acid
Dr Frankenstein, Moreau, Herbert West. These insane characters never really existed, right Well, no, they didn't. But the mad scientists in this book did. This is a look at science at its most strange, when scientists toe the line between rational exploration and gibbering lunacy with a scalpel. You'll be shocked, horrified and probably amused at what happens when madmen with a budget set out to test dubious theories, especially when they are proven right What happens when you give an Elephant an obscene amount of LSD Well it certainly ain't pretty.
