Basic Human Anatomy

A human body book with a twist – discover the science behind the weird and unusual stuff our bodies can do from Dr Azmain Chowdhury, with illustrations from Daniel Nelson.You know your heart is always beating, your intestines digest your food, and even that your brain is still awake when you’re asleep – that’s no mystery. But why do we get "brain freeze" if we eat ice cream too quickly? And why on earth do we get butterflies in our stomach when we’re nervous? And is it true we can squirt milk from our eyes?!This book focuses on the bizarre things all of our bodies do – including things we don’t understand (looking at you, appendix).

Deftly crafted dissectable female wax models and slashed beauties of the world’s anatomy museums and fairgrounds of the 18th and 19th centuries take centre stage in this disquieting volume.Since their creation in late 18th-century Florence, these wax women have seduced, intrigued and amazed.
