Description

What is a fart? What would happen to you if you didn't fart? Why do farts smell? Why do we find them so embarrassing... and so darned funny?!

Obsessive fartologist Stefan Gates tackles these pressing issues in Fartology, the first book to take a scientific look at the body's methane-making abilities. Stefan looks at the journey from food to fart, the weird science behind intestinal gas, the sounds, smells, and all things in between. With farty recipes, musings on the greatest farters in history, farts in literature, and fart euphemisms, Fartology offers mind-blowing fun for all the family.
