Author Biography Is David George Gordon for real? Too real, perhaps. A trained biologist, he's the author of 12 books on wildlife and wild places. The New York Times called his Field Guide to the Slug, "gripping," citing its "almost breathtaking" account of snail sex. "The best non-technical guide to the green-blooded monopod," proclaimed Whole Earth magazine. "Gordon's enthusiasm-- if not his affection-- for his subject is contagious," wrote Discover magazine, citing The Compleat Cockroach in its editors' Choice guide for Holiday shoppers. "You'll laugh out loud, squirm uncomfortably and lick your chops while taking this deliciously creepy culinary tour," enthused one reviewer for Amazon.com, describing Gordon's most recent title, The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook. Millions of Web-surfing maniacs have read Mad or Rad, Gordon's previous column on the Internet site of ABCNews.com. For three years he reported on an array of straight-ahead science experiments-- the effectiveness of various screen savers on chickens, a puke-making machine and an Australian device for inflating the genitalia of moths. Gordon's talents are now showcased on OnHealth.com, where he writes the Daily Dose, an inspirational and often irreverent compendium of health tips and tales. "Whatever else you say about him, this man is truly a champion of the obscure," conceded Japan's Sinra magazine. Gordon's public programs, The Compleat Cockroach Traveling Road Show, From Soup To Gnats: The Essentials of Bug Cookery and The Secret Life Of Slugs, have been greeted by capacity crowds at the Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History, Yale University and the San Diego, St. Louis and Phoenix zoos. The freewheeling naturalist has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel's Wild Discovery Wired and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and Barbara Walters' The View.
