Author Description

<b>From the celebrated Findings column in <i>Harper's Magazine</i>, a selection of fantastic facts, delightfully illustrated by Graham Roumieu. </b></br></br>Do you know that Czech and German deer still do not cross the iron curtain? Or that in Scotland, most adults say it is acceptable for a man to marry his widow's sister? How about that vanilla yogurt gives mice glossier coats and larger testicles? Or that conservatism strongly correlates with a preference for name-brand mayonnaise? </br></br>Such perverse nuggets of scientific discovery are assembled in FINDINGS, the bizarre and beloved back-page column of <i>Harper's Magazine</i>, the nation's oldest literary monthly. Now these surreal shards of knowledge take on new life in illustrations by Graham Roumieu (author of the cult classic <i>In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot</i>). </br></br>More than just a collection of facts about the sex lives of primates (though, it's that too), FINDINGS is funny, informative, and occasionally wondrous. </br></br>
