Unearth the fascinating world of outrageous experiments in this Sunday Times top ten bestseller. From unusual questions to hilariously absurd scientific endeavours, Elephants on Acid by Alex Boese is a riveting exploration of science at its strangest.

Guided by Boese's engaging storytelling, discover the answers to quirky queries that have puzzled curious minds. Would babies choose a balanced diet if left to their own devices? What's the secret to sleeping on planes? Can dogs truly fetch help in an emergency? And what happens when you give an elephant a mega-dose of LSD?

Delving into these bizarre experiments and more, Elephants on Acid delivers a unique blend of popular psychology and science history. Uncover the past through the lens of peculiar research as Boese sheds light on some of the most important and interesting experiments in biology and psychology.

Praised by Simon Singh, author of The Code Book, as ‘excellent accounts of some of the most important and interesting experiments,’ Elephants on Acid offers a humorous yet insightful journey into the curiosities of scientific investigation, certain to appeal to fans of general science and anyone who's ever wondered about the more peculiar side of research.
