The Darwin Awards III by Wendy Northcutt

The hilarious New York Times bestselling phenomenon--more than 1.5 million copies sold

Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves fromit, The Darwin Awards I includes more than one hundred brand new, hilariously macabre mishaps and misadventures.

From a sheriff who inadvertently shot himself twice, to the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw; from a farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag to the man crushed by the branch he just trimmed, The Darwin Awards I proves again that when it comes to stupidity, no species does it like we do.

Featuring scientific and safety discussions and filled with illustrations depicting inspiring examples of evolution in action, The Darwin Awards I shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

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.
