WEIGHING THE DEAD, MINCED TESTICLES, ELECTRIFIED STOCKINGS, SELF-INDUCED INSOMNIA, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, AND MORE... A COLLECTION OF THE MOST OUTLANDISH EXPERIMENTS IN HISTORYImmerse yourself in this unique collection of outrageous experiments that would never be permitted today. Dr. Cooley has trawled through ancient journal archives to dig out the very best that bizarre science has to offer. Meet an extroverted physician who injected himself with minced animal testicles, a sadistic psychologist who turned participants into quivering wrecks, and a group of academics who roasted in a sauna with their dog and a beef steak. From the laugh-out-loud to the dark and macabre, this popular science book has something for everyone. Did these experiments address an important scientific question? Or were they unjustified explorations, driven by the distorted desires of mad scientists? Each chapter includes the captivating original reports that enable you, the reader, to make your own judgement. Dr. Sam Cooley is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and holds a Ph.D. in sport and exercise sciences from the University of Birmingham, UK.
