A grab bag of historic spleens, chins, and more, this is your
ultimate literary dissection of body parts throughout history! From
famous craniums to prominent breasts, ancient spleens and bound
feet, this book will bring history to life in a whole new way. With
their inimitable wit and probing intelligence, authors Kathy and
Ross Petras look at the role the human body has played throughout
history as each individual part becomes a jumping-off point for a
wider look at the times. In far-ranging, quirky-yet-interrelated
stories, learn about Charles II of Spain's jaw and the
repercussions of inbreeding, what Anne Boleyn's heart says about
the Crusades and the trend of dispersed burials, and what can be
learned about Lady Xoc's pierced tongue. A History of the World
Through Body Parts is packed with fascinating little-known
historical facts and anecdotes that will entertain, enlighten, and
delight even the most well-read history buff.
