«Electrified Sheep» is Alex Boese's popular science and humour essay, published by Pan Books in paperback (344 pages, in English).
The book collects real scientific experiments from recent centuries, told with humour: Benjamin Franklin revived with artificial respiration a hen he himself had electrocuted, there were attempts to blow up the Moon, a doctor performed his own appendectomy alone, and there is no shortage of eccentric characters or absurd obsessions.
It is the follow-up to the bestseller «Elephants on Acid», also by Alex Boese.
For adult readers fond of popular science and humour, with a taste for unusual historical anecdotes.
