One hundred billion people have lived on earth. Unfortunately, this book would be too heavy if it talked about them all, so it's about ten of them.You'll meet Amelia Earhart, who flew across a huge ocean in a tiny plane, back in the days when planes were basically made out of old bits of wood (and worst of all, they didn't have in-flight movies) and Thomas Edison, who invented light bulbs and movie cameras (but only went to school until he was twelve). Plus a whole bunch more other brilliant people with brilliant brains who woke up one day and thought 'Oh, I've got an idea... !' and changed the world forever

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert - it wasn't Zendaya.) In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you'll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. You'll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well... An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didn't . . .) Praise for Kay's Anatomy- 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express Praise for Kay's Marvellous Medicine- 'A ridiculously funny read that will delight, gross out and educate all at the same time' Independent 'Educational and entertaining. It should be on the national curriculum!' Harry Hill 'Completely marvellous and very funny' BookTrust

Tahle úžasně odporná učebnice biologie vás zaručeně bude bavit!Nechutné a neuvěřitelně vtipné dějiny lidského těla v podání autora bestselleru Anatomie od Adama.Kdysi dávno to byla fakt zábava, tedy pokud rádi nosíte kroužkovou zbroj nebo sekáte hlavy, jenže kdysi dávno měli taky takový MALINKATÝ PROBLÉMEČEK… doktoři tehdy vůbec netušili, jak funguje lidské tělo.Je na čase zjistit, proč si staří Egypťané mysleli, že mozek je jen nanicovatá nádivka lebky, která by se klidně dala vyhodit do popelnice, proč učitelé nutili své žáky kouřit cigarety, proč holiči svým zákazníkům uřezávali nohy a proč se dřív platilo za prdění. (Je mi to líto, ale dneska už vám za to nikdo nezaplatí.)Dostanete odpovědi na otázky, které by vás ani nenapadly, jako třeba:Proč pacienti kloktali čůrání?Jak doktor zachránil životy pomocí pračky, plechovky od fazolí a páru starých párků?Čemu se říkalo velký puch? (Ne, nebojte, doktoři tak neříkají vašemu zadku.)Jestli jste připravení, dejte si kolíček na nos (v těch dobách totiž byla všude spousta smradlavého hnisu), vezměte si holínky (také tam bylo hodně hovínek, co si budeme říkat), umyjte si ruce (protože oni si je tenkrát nemyli a jak dopadli!) a pojďte objevovat nechutné a příšerné dějiny lidského těla!

"Auf dieser verrückten Entdeckungsreise zurück in die Vergangenheit, erfahren die Kinder Spannendes und unglaublich Widerliches über den menschlichen Körper und die Entwicklung der Medizin: Warum bringen uns manche Infektionen für immer zum Lachen? Warum hackten Frisöre ihren Kunden die Beine ab? Warum transplantierten Ärzte ihren Patienten Frosch-Haut?" (www.emf-verlag.de)

THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW INCLUDING BRAND NEW MATERIAL THIS IS GOING TO HURT was the bestselling non-fiction book of the century - a frank, funny and furious look at the brutal realities of life in the NHS. But it was only part of Adam Kay's story. With his stethoscope now hung up, Adam shares more suture-splitting anecdotes from both on and off the wards. From the hilarious to the profoundly moving, from the first days of medical school to life after the NHS, UNDOCTORED is an astonishing portrait of an extraordinary life, from one of Britain's finest - and funniest - storytellers.

The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one tiny little problem back then, doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked. It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing, sorry.) You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum)

Quick Read edition of the million copy bestselling This is Going to Hurt, the often hilarious, at times horrifying and occasionally heartbreaking diaries of a former junior doctor.

Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like really properly think about it? The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well... pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder. This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like- Are bogeys safe to eat? Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!) And . . . How much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.) So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo- and puke-filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*. *a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.
