Special “Sex and Death” show with science writers Tyler Volk and Dorion Sagan, authors of Death and Sex (or was that Sex and Death ?) Any way you flip it, this is one of the most fascinating and provocative (and sexiest and deathiest) science books I’ve read…partly because it isn’t just a science book.
