內容簡介

可怕又令人發笑的人體歷史
暢銷書作家 Adam Kay 創作


你知道古埃及人認為大腦只是一堆無用的舊填充物,還不如扔進垃圾桶?老師強迫學生抽煙?理髮師會砍掉顧客的腿?放屁不會得到周遭人的白眼,反而得到一小筆報酬?
本書講述古埃及如何看待人的身體。從現代醫學來看,聽起來有些荒謬、逗趣。除了上述奇怪的小知識,閱讀本書,讀者更可以了解在古埃及患者為什麼要用尿液漱口?醫生如何利用一台洗衣機、一罐豆子和舊香腸來拯救人們的生命?

如果想知道,那就在你的鼻子上插一個釘子(當時有很多臭膿),穿上雨靴(那裡也有很多糞便),洗手(因為他們不洗手),開始探索人體可怕的歷史!


The 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
