Features: This is a highly entertaining cultural history—discussing the everyday behavior that people have always been shy to talk about but are constantly engaging in: passing gas. The author, Jim Dawson, introduces the role of flatulence across various levels and groups from scientific, cultural, and religious perspectives with an extremely witty tone. Unlike typical popular reading material, the language is humorous and covers a wide range of topics, making it both a cultural history and a popular book. Especially, the text quotes numerous classic examples from well-known famous movies, allowing readers to enjoy the slightly bitter joy that flatulence brings to daily life in a relaxed and humorous language environment.
