Artsy Fartsy

Autor Joseph Weiss
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2016
"Artsy Fartsy, Cultural History of the Fart" is a fascinating overview of flatulence through human civilization and society. A cough, sneeze, hiccup, stomach rumble, burp, belch, and other bodily sounds simply cannot compete with the notoriety of the fart. Whether encountered live and in person, or through literature, television, cinema, art, music, it may leave a lingering memory. The history of the fart in culture and society is a seldom told but remarkable tale. Its release has had powerful consequences, from the unexpected triggering of wars that led to the death of thousands of innocents, to the opposite extreme of inducing spasms of laughter with the entertainment of millions. A perfect companion volume is "To 'Air' is Human, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Intestinal Gas." This uniquely informative, entertaining, and well-illustrated volume clearly explains the physiology and science of the fart, burp, and bloat that are often associated with digestion. Continuing in a scatological vein is the eccentric and equally unique volume "The Scoop on Poop, Flush With Knowledge." It provides a wealth of knowledge on the rarely told but engrossing subject of poop. From potentially life-saving information to the bizarre and obscure, the book completely covers a subject many people mistakenly consider a simple waste. It is much more complex than that, and this book uncovers and airs its mysteries The wealth of valuable information and trivia in these volumes can sustain a long social conversation, or cut it short abruptly Joseph Weiss, MD, FACP, FACG, AGAF is Clinical Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology) at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of numerous books including "To 'Air' is Human, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Intestinal Gas," "The Scoop on Poop Flush With Knowledge" also published under the alternative title "You Don't Know Sh*t Until You Read This Book," and the comprehensive resource volumes "Digestive Health & Disease, An Illustrated Encyclopedia on Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Digestion and Nutrition." He is an award-winning international public speaker recognized for unique and engaging presentations that exemplify 'edutainment'.
