Krátky popis
...a bracing adventure, and one where our ancestors are not reduced
to characters of myth and legend, but real people of flesh and
blood. It is through this most intimate dissection that the past is
brought so vividly to life - The TelegraphIt's an incisive book
(pun intended) that will leave you with a newfound appreciation of
the vessel that carries you through life - Irish IndependentThe
remarkable stories of the world's most famous body parts. Louis
XIV's rear end inspired the British National Anthem.Queen
Victoria's armpit led to the development of antiseptics. Robert
Jenkin's ear started a war. All too often, historical figures feel
distant and abstract, more myth and legend than real flesh and
blood.These stories of bodies and its parts remind us that
history's most-loved, and most-hated, were real breathing creatures
who inhabited organs and limbs just like us - until they're cut off
that is. Medical historian Dr Suzie Edge investigates over 40 cases
of how we've used, abused, dug up, displayed, experimented on, and
worshipped body parts, including why Percy Shelley's heart refused
to burn, how Yao Niang's toes started a 1000 year long ritual, why
a giant's bones are making us rethink medical ethics, and the
strange case of Hitler's right testicle.
