Description

Why do humans kiss on the lips? What is foot fetish? Why do you feel sleepy after a heavy meal? Why is that alien in Ben-10 named Gray matter? What is jet lag?

‘30 medical answers to not so medical questions’ is a collection of 30 odd questions that seemingly has nothing to do with medicine but which cannot be answered without committing to at least a little bit of medicine.

If you have no medical background, this book will be a treat to read as it has all the medical answers elaborated with simple illustrations to facilitate an easy understanding for the layman. If you do have a medical background, this book can still be a treat as it is quite possible for you to have known all these facts as such but you never put two-and-two together. Most of the answers can get you thinking, “How did I not see that coming?!” even if you do know basic medicine.

Filled with intriguing facts and sprinkled with light-hearted humour and pop-culture references, this book is a delight to anyone who is on the look-out for easy-to-read and engaging science non-fiction.
