Did you know your body makes enough saliva in a lifetime to fill two entire swimming pools?
Or that a sneeze can travel faster than a car on the highway?
Or that one man hiccupped continuously for 68 years, adding up to an estimated 430 million hiccups?
Your body is doing incredible, strange, and sometimes downright gross things every single second, and most of it happens without you ever noticing.
The Ultimate Human Body Book puts it all in one place. With 100 carefully researched questions, surprising answers, and discoveries that will make you say both whoa and ew on the same page, this book takes you from your brain to your bones to your boogers and everything in between.
Inside you will discover:
- Why your stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve metal, and how your stomach lining keeps you safe from it
- The surprising reason yawning might be contagious, and why even reading about it can make you yawn right now
- How many times your heart will beat over your entire lifetime
- Why bruises change color as they heal, going through almost a rainbow of shades
- The real story behind the funny bone, and why it is not actually a bone at all
- How your body produces an entirely new layer of skin more than a dozen times a year
- Why you cannot tickle yourself, no matter how hard you try
Every question comes with a full answer, detailed explanation, and a why it's interesting fact that connects these body functions to the bigger picture of how amazing, and sometimes how gross, being human really is. This is not just trivia. It is a guided tour through the strange and wonderful machine you live in every single day.
Perfect for curious kids ages 8-12, classroom use, family trivia nights, and anyone who has ever wondered what is really happening inside their own body.
Your body is stranger, smarter, and grosser than you ever imagined. Get ready to find out just how much.
