Summary

Through a chronological examination of archaeological evidence and historical records, readers discover the ingenious solutions different cultures developed to meet their maritime challenges.

The work progresses from ancient vessel construction techniques through to modern challenges in sustainable shipping and autonomous vessel technology, illustrating how each advancement in boat design has responded to specific human needs while creating new possibilities for progress.

 
Clear illustrations and historical photographs complement the text, helping readers visualize the evolution of maritime technology across millennia.

    This book was written to bring to everyone's attention our obsession with technology, which is destroying our planet's biosphere and will eventually, in the author's opinion, bring about the extinction of most species on Earth, both plant and animal, including, of course, our own. Clinging onto the belief that we will soon develop some new technology that will provide us with a free and unlimited source of energy and "save" us is just pure folly. Technology cannot be the solution to our environmental problems – it is the cause. 
In the meantime, we should not even consider venturing too far into outer space. Until we learn to live both socially and environmentally compatible with the Earth, any attempt to spread our species to other worlds should not be called "colonizing." It would more accurately be termed "metastasizing."

    The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
 
"America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
 
Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.
