Nonfiction Book Discussion- Grunt by Mary Roach

Nonfiction Book Discussion - Grunt by Mary Roach In Grunt, Mary Roach (hailed as America's "funniest science writer" by the Washington Post) explores the science of keeping human beings intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfected in the bizarre and extreme circumstances of war. In this book, Roach tackles the science behind some of a soldier's most challenging adversaries--panic, exhaustion, heat, noise, etc.--and introduces us to the scientists who seek to conquer them. Take a tour of duty with Mary Roach, and you will never see our nation's defenders in the same way again. Read the book and come talk about it.
