I thought the book was really good, it told me all aboutdigestion and what happens to food once it's inside you and what kindof germs can make a hole in your guts, and that your liver makes salt and it just tells you everything about your body and it's really good.

A fascinating look at the human body. Great for weird people and some parts may have you reaching for a bucket a great book if you have the stomach for it!

This book is full of disgusting, yet interesting facts about digestion. It has cool cartoons, crazy quizzes, and lots of intriguing scientific words. It will make you giggle and soon you will be using some of those cool scientific words. I'd recommend this book for people who are capable of dealing with disgusting facts without throwing up. My mom and dad like this book also.

Nasty Nature, illustrated by, Tony De Saullres
Authorized by, Nick Arnold

I read a book about nasty nature. It is about nasty nature. It has some facts and some funny stuff. Did you know that the turkeys are the dumbest animal ever? It gets scared by a rattling paper flying though the air. If you want a good and funny book get this one. There are other ones like this one, they are called: Ugly Bugs Blood, Bones and Body Bits Chemicals Chaos.

Nasty Nature finds ordinary boring facts, adds a punch line complete with cartoons, and with those 3 steps makes a science book look like a joke book! If you haven't gotten all the books in the Horrible Science series, you should get them! And if you have them all, the Horrible History series is great also! (I have both of those sets.)

This was a GREAT book! It told about meny diffrent animals doing really strange things. It even had a key to what dogs and cats faces' mean. This book had much more then that, like what sharks do, the best mother, diffrent typs of animals, and a lot more! You should buy this book!!

I purchased the book for my son. He is 7 and loves science. The
way it is written, it keeps his interest, keeps him laughing, and teaches him all at the same time. I believe since the book is funny to children they will retain the information better and
apply it to science class at school. Sooner or later they'll say, "Hey, I read about that in "Fatal Forces" and will be ahead of the game.

My 11 year old son loves all of the "Horrible Science" series, and has read them multiple times. We just discovered that there is a companion series called "Horrible Histories" by a different author, but in the same style. I hope they will equal the educational and entertainment value of the science books.

This provided me with plenty of groundwork to spend time in Miami . Historical background and explanations were excellent, as well as the maps, contact numbers, and accomadation. A lot of this bookd was taken the from the larger LP work on Florida was was excellent as well. The only thing to note is that some of the hotel prices in the-then more affordable category has risen, in some cases by a third. The hostels in Miami/Miami Beach cannot be beat.

Before arriving to Miami, I bought this guide. Once there, I tested it and it was 98% accurate. No matter what you are interested in, this guide has a suggestion for you. From dining and clubbing, to hints and tips, to small excursions outside the metro area. A must for everyone interested in visiting Miami.

My 3 year old son loves these books,and they have really helped get him excited about animals and nature. Now when we go for walks he can name every bug, bird, snake etc. that we see and tell me a little about them.

This is a very good book and is my second favorite Eyewitness book coming after Eyewitness SHARK. This book tells about every reptile: Snakes, Allogators and Crocidiles, Lizards, Turtles and Tuateras.I love this book because it tells you very intresting facts about reptiles. You should buy this book because it is awsome!

Blood, Bones and Body Bits is a wonderful book exellent for children but also very good for adults.It explains in a very nice and funny way about your body. And Nick Arnold is a exellent writer and the drawings of Tony De Saulles are nice but also funny

My kids loved the series of these books. I really enjoyed them myself. The book talks in child language and often makes them
laugh or say "Gross!". It makes the information stick in their
minds. Nicely written in a child's point of view.

I believe this book has to be one of the best science books in the biz. It got me wondering all about the body and how it works. It's a must read if you love science or even if you cringe at the word, it will make horrible science come alive.

Chemical Chaos presents a delightful history of scientific development while teaching basic chemistry. Information is presented in cartoon-style which is readable by ages 10 and up. The experiments are not extensive but are well-thought out to demonstrate scientific principles. And the experiments are easy, use readily-available materials, include safe practices, and apply to everyday life.

My dad first found these in England. He thought I might like them so he got a few for me. I really LOVED reading them in grade and learning stuff. Now, in sixth grade, we are learning the things that I already knew! I showed it to my science teacher and I still haven't gotten it back because she's loaned to so many people! She would read exerpts from it every morning, AND I passed the class with an A+! It's a great book and Nick Arnold is such a good writer, you don't even know how much you're learning. :-)

I have it on good authority that Nick Arnold is no chemist! But reading his excellent children's book 'Chemical Chaos' you'd never know it. He demonstrates remarkable knowledge and research ability, and this book is sure to keep children amused across the world. The whole 'Horrible Science' series is wonderful, and makes learning a pleasure for everyone, young and old alike.

While I have found other Lonely Planet guides to be top notch, the Florida guide is a disappointment. The tone, which was intended to be hip, comes off as juvenile. Good places were overlooked and mediocre places over extolled. The Lonely Planet Mexico guide is imbued with comprehensive knowledge of the country. The Florida guide gives the impression of having been thrown together to fill a gap in the Lonely Planet series.

Another Lonely Planet book, this listed enough hostel accomodation for me, and the maps, and background information were plenty of a base to begin a trip to Florida. Upon arriving to the Sunshine state, it is best to add onto this base of (LP) information by word-of-mouth from fellow travelers and locals. This addition provided me with enough information, and it certainly beats the AAA guidebooks, (and many other travel books), which are short, shallow, & designed for the exciting people that travel in RVs and those that mingle with the "Days Inn" crowd. Important to note: there was sarcasm and juvenile expressions in thie book, that appreared to be condescending. This is not the first time that writers for LP have done this. Often, the chirpy sarcasm, was indeed, incorrect. LP should make a note of it. Many-a-times, international backpakers/travelers think they "know" most everything, becuase the think they've "been there and done that." Usually it's quite the opposite. Bottom line: regardless of the impish tones, take this over most other travel books. Ken Johnson (still in Florida).

I used this book for a trip to east coast and central Florida and thought it was the best Florida guide of all the ones I looked at. I stood in the book shop looking through all the guides, and checking chapters against each other, and found that this was the one to get. When I got to Florida, I found the information was right on target for all the sights, the restaurants and especially the history. The history of the Space program in this book was better than anything I saw, and even better than the information I got in the Kennedy space Center visitor center. I was surprised to see people claiming inaccuracy in the reviews here, but I looked at the dates and think they must have meant the old edition of the book. This one is tops, and kudos on Lonely Planet and the selbys for this great new edition.

A good book but not as good as some of the later ones in the series. I especially liked the ugly bugs versus horrible humans chapter because it gives you a chance to think about what bugs might think of us.

This book is great for young people seeking to find out about bugs and their habits. Almost all of us have some fascination for creepy crawlies and this book feeds that curiosity. I think it's suitable for moderately good readers who enjoy factual books, there are no photos in this book but there are some good illustrations and a few humorous cartoons as well. Overall a good read.
