A ridiculously funny read that will delight, gross out and educate all at the same time' - The IndependentThe brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay. The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . .. doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked. It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting.(Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.) You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.) If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body! Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express

Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!)And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.)

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo funciona tu organismo? Descubre en este libro por qué el cuerpo humano es como una máquina perfectamente programada y sincronizada, capaz de realizar cientos de funciones sorprendentes a la vez sin que nos demos apenas cuenta... Con agudeza, gran sentido del humor y desternillantes ilustraciones, el medico Adam Kay nos invita a recorrer todo el cuerpo humano, organo por organo, para conocer sus secretos, insolitos y asombrosos. Por ejemplo: ¿sabias que el cerebro puede procesar 400 billones de cosas en un segundo, que el corazon bombea sangre cada dia como para llenar noventa bañeras, y que los pulmones expulsan suficiente aire al dia como para inflar mil globos? Y aunque la piel es el organo mas grande que tenemos, no es la parte mas exterior del cuerpo porque siempre esta rodeado de una nube invisible de diminutas escamas que se desprenden de el, junto con celulas que expulsan los organos cada vez que hablamos, bostezamos o estornudamos...Anatomia de Kay es un completo manual, util y muy entretenido, para responder a todas las preguntas sobre nuestro organismo.
