Description
Myth Busters: Body Bloopers takes readers on a wild ride through the human body in search of the truth!
Have you been told carrots improve your eyesight? Or that junk food causes spots? Think again! Conspiracy theories, popular trivia, old wives' tales, common misconceptions, misinterpretations and other fallacies are explored to unearth exactly why they are wrong, and how and why they were adopted as fact in the first place.
Thoroughly entertaining with fun typography and fast-paced text written by Clive Gifford, the book includes light and fascinating side-stories, and lively, photo-montaged illustrations. This big, huge compendium of curriculum-led subjects appeals to today's technologically savvy children. It fully details each myth and error, along with its historical or scientific background. Each falsehood is debunked, and then a full explanation of its true facts is presented.
