From Napoleon's penis to Van Gogh's ear, from Marie Antoinette's
teeth to Marie Curie's bone marrow, this book brings together the
remarkable stories of body parts that have made history. We have
always used and abused bodies. We've torn them apart, dug them up,
experimented on them or taken bits home to display as trophies.
Body parts have been used for propaganda in wars and pulled off in
punishment. They've answered medical mysteries, been turned into
relics and even saved lives. Now TikTok sensation and medical
historian, Dr Suzie Edge, brings us a history of the world's most
famous body parts told through its most notable limbs, organs, and
appendages, including how Queen Victoria's armpit led the
development of antiseptics; why Percy Shelley's heart refused to
burn; and the strange case of Hitler's right testicle.
