This book by Giulia Enders is, surprisingly, a chuckle a page. When you begin with the contents page and see
“How does pooing work….and why that’s an important question” then further down “The
meandering small intestine” you get a feeling that the subject matter is dealt
with in a straight forward and very humorous way. If you haven’t had a good chuckle by the time
you’ve finished the section on ‘constipation’ you just don’t have the funny
gene.
The description on the back of the book says:
“Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we
know very little about how it works. In Gut Giulia Enders shows that rather than
the utilitarian and – let’s be honest – somewhat embarrassing body part we
imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous
parts of our anatomy.”
