About this product
Product Information
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.

I purchased “Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Hardcover by Taschen (EDT)...”, sold by: Great Book Prices Store, on January 27, 2024. The package was left with a shipping partner on Tuesday, January 30, according to the USPS, who received it on February 6. It was delivered to my address on February 7. It arrived securely packaged and the condition of the item was as described. It would be a pleasure to do business with this seller again in the future.
