Overview

To 'Air' is Human, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Intestinal Gas is a uniquely informative entertaining and lavishly illustrated volume. Extensive knowledge about the physiology and science of the digestive process and intestinal gas is clearly explained by an expert in the field. It covers everything you ever wanted to know about the fart, burp, and bloat, but were too embarrassed to ask. Intestinal gas has been produced and released by virtually every human who has ever lived, yet very few people have been provided with the knowledge that can provide comfort and relief. This volume is overflowing with practical information, fascinating facts, surprising trivia, and tasteful humorous insight about this universal phenomenon. A companion volume Artsy Fartsy, Cultural History of the Fart, is a fascinating overview of the fart through the history, art, and literature of human society from antiquity to the present day. This is a seldom told but remarkable tale that informs and entertains. The last volume of the scatological trilogy is The Scoop on Poop! This comprehensive and knowledgeable overview of the remains of the digestive process offers information that ranges from the potentially life-saving to the sidesplitting eccentricities and peculiarities of human nature.
