Features: Who is the world-famous "King of Farts"? Who brought the gas (fart) from the body onto the screen? And who discussed the huge impact of farts on family, marriage, and life in their works? A loud fart triggered a war that claimed thousands of lives in Jerusalem during the Passover 2,000 years ago. "Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, beans, beans, eat them every day." This is a highly entertaining cultural history—talking about the everyday behavior that people have always been shy to mention but is constantly happening: farting. The author of this book, Jim Dawson, introduces the role of farts at all levels and among all kinds of people from various aspects such as science, culture, and religion with an extremely humorous tone. It differs from general popular reading material, with a witty and humorous language that covers a wide range of topics. It is both a cultural history and a popular read, especially with the inclusion of many well-known famous quotes and movie lines as classic examples, allowing readers to enjoy the slightly bitter joy that farts bring to daily life in a relaxed and humorous language environment.
