'Excellent accounts of some of the most important and interesting experiments in biology and psychology' – Simon Singh, author of The Code Book


A riveting look at historical experiments that challenge conventional thinking:

If left to their own devices, would babies instinctively choose a well-balanced diet?
- Discover the secret of how to sleep on planes
- Which really tastes better in a blind tasting - Coke or Pepsi?
- Would your dog run to fetch help if you fell down a disused mineshaft?
- What would happen if you gave an elephant the largest ever single dose of LSD?

Elephants on Acid humorously delves into these and more, delivering a unique blend of popular psychology and historical science – a fascinating insight into the bizarre world of scientific experiments.
