520    It may be a wonderful world, but as Dan Riskin explains, 
       it's also a dangerous, disturbing, and disgusting one. At 
       every turn, it seems, living things are trying to eat us, 
       poison us, use our bodies as their homes, or have us 
       spread their eggs. In Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You,
       Riskin is our guide through the natural world at its most 
       gloriously ruthless. Using the seven deadly sins as a road
       map, Riskin offers dozens of jaw-dropping examples that 
       illuminate how brutal nature can truly be. From slothful 
       worms that hide in your body for up to thirty years to 
       wrathful snails with poisonous harpoons that can kill you 
       in less than five minutes to lustful ducks that have 
       orgasms faster than you can blink, these fascinating 
       accounts reveal the candid truth about 'gentle' Mother 
       Nature's true colors. Riskin's passion for the strange and
       his enthusiastic expertise bring Earth's most fascinating 
       flora and fauna into vivid focus. Through his adventures- 
       which include sliding on his back through a thick soup of 
       bat guano just to get face-to-face with a vampire bat, 
       befriending a parasitic maggot that has taken root on his 
       head, and coming to grips with having offspring of his own
       -Riskin makes unexpected discoveries not just about the 
       world all around us but also about the ways this brutal 
       world has shaped us as humans and what our 
       responsibilities are to this terrible, wonderful planet we
       call home.
