by Quadrille Publishing Ltd

Scientist and presenter Stefan Gates is back, answering the questions that everyone is too shy to ask!

Rude Science follows in the flatulent footsteps of Fartology, taking on those unmentionable body substances with which we're all so familiar, but rarely talk about in polite company. Stefan tackles eternal questions such as:

  • How much snot can a person produce in one day?
  • Why do men have nipples
  • What's ear wax for?
  • What is toe cheese?

It's packed with weird and wonderful facts about our bodies and the disgusting gloops and gunks we ooze every single day. Reclaim your bodily functions with fun and scientific facts that will fascinate kids and adults alike.

FAQs

Are your books brand new? How are they such good value?

All our books are brand new and delivered to us straight from the publisher. Our special sales editions are bought in bulk at a great discount - which we pass on to you!

Are the books different from what I've seen in the high street?

Special sales editions are made with more affordable materials, allowing the publisher to keep the cost price down, and we can sell it for less than the standard editions
