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!

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.

WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 2020 WINNER OF THE AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARD FOR NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR 2020 WINNER OF THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS AWARDS FOR NON-FICTION 2020 SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 2020 'Really, really special' CHRIS PACKHAM 'An extraordinary voice and vision' ROBERT MACFARLANE Diary of a Young Naturalist chronicles the turning of Dara McAnulty's world, from spring to summer, autumn to winter, on his home patch, at school, in the wild and in his head. Evocative, raw and beautifully written, this startling and special book vividly explores the natural world from the perspective of an autistic teenager coping with the uprooting of home, school, and his mental health, while pursuing his life as a conservationist and environmental activist. In a work of power and hope, Dara recalls his sensory encounters in the wild - with blackbirds, whooper swans, red kites, hen harriers, frogs, dandelions, Irish hares and more - while drawing a moving portrait of a young activist dealing with change, and a family making their way in the world. 'One of the most talented and passionate writers of our era' STEVE SILBERMAN

'Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature. Tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable' BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY 'A lush, beautiful, strong book. It took me on such a transformative life journey. I could not put it down' CLOVER STROUD ____________________ I've come to understand how the exceptional lurks beneath the ordinary like the deep and mysterious world beneath the sea On a cool autumn morning, Torie Nash heads into her village pulling a rickety wagon filled with late-season peaches. As she nears an intersection, a mysterious drifter with grimy thumbs and smudged cheeks and eyes as dark as a raven's wing stops to ask her the way. She could turn left or cross over. But she does not. Her heart skips a beat as he whispers, 'Go as a river.' So begins a mezmerising story that unfolds over a tumultuous lifetime as Torie begins to absorb and follow his words. Soon, she will gather all the pieces of her small and extraordinary life, spin through the eddies of desire, heartbreak and betrayal, and arrive at a single rocky decision that will change her life for ever. Completely spellbinding, vivid, and luminous' JANE GREEN 'Go As a River delivers so very much- the tenderness and curiosity of young love, the eternal pangs of loss, the brutality of racism, the sustaining power of nature and the miracle of a mother's love. Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to life must be savored, treasured, shared' MEG WAITE CLAYTON, author of The Postmistress of Paris

Naive Evangeline lost her position as a governess and her grip on her destiny when she found herself pregnant out of wedlock. After spending months in Newgate prison, she doesn't know whether she should be grateful or despairing when she is moved to a prison ship. What she does know is that her child will almost certainly be born during the journey to Australia. On board, Evangeline strikes up a friendship with Hazel, practically a child herself, sentenced to seven years transport for stealing a silver spoon. Great Britain considers Australia an unpeopled colony, but Mathinna is the orphaned daughter of the chief of the Lowreenne tribe, one of a number of peoples whose lands have been seized and their way of life subject to criticism, study, and missionary zeal. Adopted by the new governor of Tasmania and brought to Hobart to live with the family, Mathinna is treated more like a curiosity than a child. Evangeline, Hazel, and Mathinna will become part of the story of the creation of a new society in the land beyond the seas
