Can we recommend a dose of ground-up Egyptian mummy? Want to fight off diseases? Try carrying around one of your farts in a jar. It's well-known that to make advances in science you have to make a few mistakes along the way. In this hilarious history book kids will be whisked around the world-from ancient Rome to imperial China-to meet the medical innovators who pushed the boundaries of what was possible, with sometimes disastrous effects. They'll learn about the use of leeches, maggot-therapy (as gross as it sounds), dancing plagues, public dissections, grave robbers, electric eel treatments, exploding teeth, and much more! Written by a doctor, everything in this book has been scrupulously researched and readers will learn about the development of some of our greatest inventions, from vaccines to X-rays. Amusing illustrations by Ella Kasperowicz make this a book kids will want to return to again and again. | ||
