Summary

Time to exfoliate with facts and trivia about skin! From peach fuzz to leather, from scales to polyurethane, we got you covered. Get cute and cutaneous with sharks, and how their skin might save our lives. If you can dodge a wrench, then you can dodge Colin's quiz questions about sport balls like why are soccer balls black and white? And are footballs really made of pigskin? Books bound in human skin: bogus or boy-get-this-outta-here? Chris reports live from the restricted section of the library. And on the opposite end, Karen explores the history and phenomenon of fake leather. For advertising inquiries, please contact [email protected]! Learn more about your ad choices.
