Mother Nature is Trying to Kill You: A Lively Tour Through the Dark Side of the Natural World 

By Dan Riskin

Synopsis: 

Divided into seven sections titled under the seven original sins, the author of this book is determined on convincing readers that Mother Nature is foe, not friend.

In a world where the phrase "All Natural" sells to most, it is rather alarming to be told that natural could mean death. In this book, Dan Riskin explores the natural world and habitats of wild animals and insects to report their habits and what makes them dangerous to us, humans.

From the smallest creatures to the humongous, you will not believe what they all have in common: the intent of destroying us! Therefore, you should absolutely pick up this book and read it. Who knows, maybe it will save your life one day! :)

  1. We die a little bit everyday, right? I'm definitely interested in the title, "Everything is going to kill everybody." It sounds a little dark.
