Sub-title: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
I'd previously read Mary's book, "Stiff" about cadavers. This book covers the digestive system, from nose/mouth all through to the other end. She has a light-hearted style, interspersing asides with the medical facts and history of this vitally important body function. I enjoyed learning about the evolution of medical treatment and diseases affecting the digestive trac. Quirky read.
