What is Electrified Sheep : Glass-eating Scientists, Nuking the Moon, and More Bizarre Experiments about?

<p>"Perfect summertime reading—preferably with a friend nearby who can be constantly interrupted with unsettling facts." —<i>Daily Mail</i> (UK )<br><br>Benjamin Franklin was a pioneering scientist, leader of the Enlightenment, and a founding father of the United States. But perhaps less well known is that he was also the first person to use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an electric-shock victim. Odder still, it was actually mouth-to-beak resuscitation on a hen that he himself had shocked. <br><br>Welcome to some of the weirdest and most wonderful experiments ever conducted in the name of science. Filled with stories of science gone strange, <i>Electrified Sheep </i>is packed with eccentric characters, irrational obsessions, and extreme experiments. Watch as scientists attempt to nuke the moon, wince at the doctor who performs a self-appendectomy, and catch the faint whiff of singed wool from an electrified sheep.</p>
