Mary Roach is the master of making the science of cadavers, space urination, and fecal transplants infinitely palatable. For her newest book, the pop-science writer turns her attention to the ins and outs of keeping soldiers in fighting shape. Expect fascinating information about maggots, diarrhea, and fatigue fashion in Grunt. COURTNEY FERGUSON
