The Darwin Awards II by Wendy Northcutt

The Darwin Awards II by Wendy Northcutt

The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon and the perfect funny gift!

The Darwin Awards II: Unnatural Selection brings together a fresh collection of the hapless, the heedless, and the just plain foolhardy among us.  Salute the owner of an equipment training school who demonstrates the dangers of driving a forklift by failing to survive the filming of his own safety video. Gawk at the couple who go to sleep on a sloping roof. Witness the shepherd who leaves his rifle unsecured--only to be accidentally shot by one of his own flock.

With over one hundred Darwin Award Winners, Honorable Mentions, and debunked Urban Legends, plus science and safety tips for avoiding the scythe of natural selection, The Darwin Awards II proves once again how uncommon common sense can be.

Wendy Northcutt, a molecular biology graduate of UC Berkeley, began collecting the stories that make up the Darwin Awards in 1993. Her award-winning humor website, www.DarwinAwards.com, is one of the most visited on the Internet. USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and NPR's All Things Considered have all featured the Darwin Awards. Wendy is the author of The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action, The Darwin Awards 2: Unnatural Selection, The Darwin Awards 3: Survival of the Fittest, The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards: Next Evolution, and The Darwin Awards: Countdown to Extinction, all of which have become international bestsellers.
