Why is Yawning Contagious?

Why is Yawning Contagious? aims to provide the definitive answers to hundreds of the most interesting everyday and not-so-everyday questions regarding the human body.

Questions include ‘Why does it hurt to chew silver foil if you have fillings in your teeth?’, ‘Why does ice-cream cause brain-freeze?’, ‘What causes body odour?’, ‘Why is sweetcorn found in poo?’,‘How do we get warts?’ and ‘What causes night cramps?’.

Francesca draws upon her many years of experience as an anatomy and physiology lecturer to provide clear and easy-to-understand answers to many fascinating questions. Complex scientific concepts are explained in simple terms, so that the book will be accessible to readers of any age, with no previous knowledge of biology or human anatomy.

The chapters are themed by questions relating to the skin, the hair, and skeletal, muscular, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems.
