Mary Roach

Mary Roach writes funny, yet deeply researched non-fiction books on topics such as cadavers (Stiff), the afterlife (Spook) and sex (Bonk). Mary has just published a new book about humans in space called Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, which features her trips to American, Japanese and Russian space centers, interviews with current and retired astronauts, her own experience in zero gravity and the very particular problems of living outside the warm, comfortable embrace of Earth's gravity.
