    Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed
Carl Zimmer
This is a weird and wonderful almanac of the lovable geeks who immortalized  passion for science on their living flesh. Zimmer divides the book into  sections around each of the major sciences — math , chemistry,  neuroscience, evolutionary biology, astronomy, and even an entire  chapter on DNA — and uses each tattoo as a meditation pillow from whence  to reflect on the science in question with his unmistakeable essay  style of intelligent wit.
