4.0 out of 5 stars evolution in action, 14 May 2008

By	Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

a bit of a phenomeon since the dawn of the internet, the darwin awards lists stories of those who either kill or sterilise themselves by doing quite staggeringly stupid and dangerous things that anyone in their right minds wouldn't even consider. such as playing russian roulette or hitting an anti tank mine. they're called darwin awards because if the person has no children they have thus removed themselves from the gene pool, proving that it's usually the smarter members of a species who survive to propagate.

This collects the latest batch of awards winners, and contains quite a few stories of such. they all run for either one or two pages, and the book is divided into eight chapters containing stories of incidents involving animals, explosives, weapons, and various other things potentially fatal in the hands of those with no sense.

Some of the stories are illustrated with cartoons, and each chapter has a science essay relating to the overall theme of the chapter [none of which will please creationists].

These books are good guilty pleasures. Probably not for the easily offended, but you're not laughing at people's misfortune, you're laughing at the fact that someone could be so stupid. A good read.
