There's Something About Mary

Author blurb --- Mary Roach

Where do all these wonderful women science writers come from (quite a change from the old days)! Former freelancer and non-scientist Mary Roach has now entertained the public with three best-selling simply-titled, witty, humorous, yet fact-based excursions into quirky corners of science ("Stiff," "Spook," and "Bonk"), and hopefully her insatiable curiosity will bring us many more to come. If there's such a thing as 'escapist' scientific writing (fun, but you still learn stuff) I'd use the label here.

and couple of articles on her here and here.
