Overview: Body art meets popular science in this elegant, mind-blowing collection, written by renowned science writer Carl Zimmer. This fascinating book showcases hundreds of eye-catching tattoos that pay tribute to various scientific disciplines, from evolutionary biology and neuroscience to mathematics and astrophysics, and reveals the stories of the individuals who chose to inscribe their obsessions in their skin. Best of all, each tattoo provides a leaping-off point for bestselling essayist and lecturer Zimmer to reflect on the science in question, whether its the importance of an image of Darwins finches or the significance of the uranium atom inked into the chest of a young radiologist.
** This book has to be unique. It’s about the intersection of science and tattoos. It works amazingly well because it has three element: first, the visuals are gorgeous; second, it features wonderfully eccentric people who are so dedicated to science that they get a relevant tattoo, and third, Zimmer gives a brilliantly lucid summary of the science behind each of the images. It’s the kind of book you dip in and out of rather than reading cover to cover.
