A History of the World Through Body Parts

The Stories Behind the Organs, Appendages, Digits, and the Like Attached to (or Detached From) Famous Bodies

Kathryn Petras , Ross Petras
Siblings Kathryn and Ross Petras’ anatomical journey through history takes them from a Palaeolithic woman’s hand stencilled on a cave wall in the Pyrenees to astronaut Alan Shephard’s zero-gravity bladder problems. Along the way, they wonder if Cleopatra’s nose led to regime change in Rome, Martin Luther’s bowels sparked the Reformation, Charles I’s lost head gave rise to constitutional monarchy, and Kaiser Wilhelm’s withered arm caused the First World War.
