Summary of Grunt by Mary Roach | Includes Analysis

Preview:

Mary Roach's Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans Aat War examines technological and medical research in the military. Each chapter focuses on a different topic - for example, diarrhea among soldiers - and then presents historical background, interviews with scientists and affected military personnel, and possible solutions to the problem.

Military research in both news accounts and films is usually presented as a matter of technology and combat equipment, such as faster airplanes, better bombs, and deadlier weapons. Much military research, however, is devoted to finding ways to protect soldiers or to help them cope in the aftermath of injury. For instance, researchers work constantly to develop clothing fabrics that will keep soldiers cool while still providing camouflage - a difficult task because the black in camouflage absorbs heat. Doctors and surgeons constantly develop new ways to address injuries from bombs and gunshots. They have made advances in reconstructive genital surgery and even some strides towards successful penis transplants....

The history of humans and warfare

Mary Roach's "Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans At War" examines technological and medical research in the military. Each chapter focuses on a different topic--for example, diarrhea among soldiers--and then presents historical background, interviews with scientists and affected military personnel, and possible solutions to the problem.

This Instaread review of Roach's analysis on war is thought-provoking. When discussing military and violence, it's easy to get caught up in the ethics of it, but Instaread distills out 8 key points from "Grunt" that span different topics about our history with war. These key takeaways are the essential elements of "Grunt" and are interesting to read about. Not only that, but Instaread also provides an overview of the book, analyzes the author's style, and includes additional references to explore. I was given a copy of this book to review.

Grunt by Mary Roach Summary

I love these Instaread book summaries. You get the gist of what the book is about without buying the finished book. Grunt by Mary Roach touches on the medical science behind keeping a soldier safe, dry and comfortable with their uniforms and supplies. There is an overview of the book, explaining a bit about the book. The book tells the reader about the medical and technical research such as how to keep uniforms dry, odor free and even how research has helped with building and making better products to keep a soldier safe from injuries. Ms. Roach works closely with scientists to get her information and to keep it as straightforward as she is known to do. Science is not always a sure thing and this non fiction book delves into the successes and failings of research in the military. I would definitely read the book based on this summaryâ

Great read- definitely recommend Instaread (not full version) of Grunt

I was so impressed with this Instaread! It was so interesting and brought up a lot of topics that I've never considered.
