Have you been attacked by a great white shark? Gone over Niagara
Falls in a barrel? Been exposed to anthrax? No, you haven't, or
you'd be dead." This Will Kill You" reveals the intriguing facts
behind the many ways humans bite the dust in encounters with deadly
bugs, hungry predators, natural disasters, and freak occurrences.
Thoroughly researched and illustrated, not to mention thoroughly
hilarious, this book describes in deathly detail what happens to
the body when it's struck by lightning, slimed by a dart frog, or
flung from a mountaintop.
No other book has ever peaked under the Grim Reaper's robe in
such a straightforward and irreverent way. With a foreword by a
physician at the Mayo Clinic, an afterword by a funeral director,
lists of history's most notable deaths, and a unique death rating
system, everything you need to know about the ways in which we go
are included in these pages.
