Description

This fascinating book delves into the remarkable stories of the world's most famous body parts, revealing the intricate connections between history, science, and human experience. From the origins of the British National Anthem to the development of antiseptics, Dr Suzie Edge uncovers the surprising tales behind the most intimate and often overlooked aspects of our bodies.

Through 40 compelling cases, Dr Edge explores how our ancestors' bodies have been used, abused, experimented on, displayed, and worshipped, shedding new light on the complex relationships between humans, science, and society. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the subject, she brings to life the often-forgotten stories of the past, reminding us that history's most-loved and most-hated figures were, above all, real people with flesh and blood.
