Smoking Ears and Screaming Teeth is a hilarious celebration of the great eccentrics who have performed dangerous experiments on themselves for the benefit of humankind, written with all the wit, humour and eye for the beauties of nature -- and machinery and scientific equipment -- that have gained Trevor Norton a cult following and critical acclaim.
Many have followed the advice of the great Victorian scientist Jack Haldane to "never experiment on an animal if a man will do" and "never ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do yourself." He and his father inhaled poisonous gasses to test the efficacy of the prototype gas mask they had invented. When breathing gasses under pressure he suffered the smoking ears and screaming teeth of the title.
The stories are astonishing, disturbing or absurd -- the Marquis de Sade meets Monty Python. John Hunter pioneered self-experimentation and deliberately infected himself with venereal diseases by the puss transference method and gave his name to chancre of the penis. The zoologist Frank Buckland made a concentrated effort to widen the nation's diet by personally testing everything that crossed his path, from boiled elephant's trunk to bluebottles. He published recipes for such delicacies as slug soup. Some medics deliberately contracted deadly blood diseases in the hope of finding cures. Then there was the surgeon who got the sack and won the Nobel prize for thrusting a catheter into his own beating heart.
Trevor Norton writes that self-experimentation is still a component of much scientific research. In our health and safety obsessed society, we need people who are willing to risk themselves to make life safer for us.

读后感
人类的进步离不开很多人的牺牲，这本书从医学，生物，军事等多个方面来向我们展示了那些为解决或者改进人类在各个领悟遇到问题而用自我作为被实验者的科学家所做出的努力甚至付出生命。“敢第一次吃螃蟹的人是很可佩服的，不是勇士谁敢去吃它呢？”。 如果你想了解人类的科学是...

评分和Otto去嘉定的路上，谈起正在看的《冒烟的耳朵和尖叫的牙齿》，他立刻想起诺贝尔获得者巴里•马歇尔和罗宾•沃伦的故事，他们认为胃溃疡是由细菌引起的观点一开始不容于世，“我很诧异，为什么很多的科学工作者对于新观点总是深恶痛绝，百般诋毁，必欲除之而后快？...

评分这是一本让人拿起就不想放下的那种书。不过因为作者是英国人，有一些地方是英式幽默，很多的例子都是英国的例子；还有一战和二战时的例子都是站在英国的立场写的，带有一点主观色彩，这种立场或许和原版追求销量有关吧，中国读者看时能充分了解英式幽默能选择过滤就够了。 以...

甚是有趣。调侃中隐藏着悲壮。文字尽显英国式的促狭，哈哈。
评分这好像是第一本我看完后觉得需要减星的书。虎头蛇尾太要命，前三章的冷幽默强吐槽在后面几章里越来越难寻觅，主题也从“虐己”——把自己当小白鼠，转到了“虐人”——吃人的鲨鱼、潜入深海的幽闭、升入平流层后骇人的高度等等。不过话说回来，于大处能让人觉得眼界顿开、于小处可让读者会心一笑的这么一本科普小书，有什么理由去黑它呢？

评分或滑稽或悲壮的科学八卦，拿自己做实验的各种父子兵、兄弟连、夫妻档，从18世纪掘墓盗尸的外科学发展，一直讲到上天入海的极限探险
