This recollection by much-admired author and presenter Adam Hart-Davis takes the reader on a fascinating tour of an altogether different kind—a whirlwind tour of the history and mysteries of urine. The scientific aspects are presented in the author's own clear and engaging style, filled with the charm of someone who clearly loves his subject. A humorous, compulsive assortment of tales surrounding everyone from Marilyn Monroe to the Victorians, Taking the Piss also reveals exciting discoveries about an area with which we are all passingly familiar.
