| book description |

Discover the most DISGUISTING and world-changing discoveries in the history of science!  Did you know ancient surgeons used hungry leeches and maggots to help heal wounds? Or that a mysterious ingredient used in perfume comes from whale vomit?  From parasites and pus to mould, maggots and poo, many of history's greatest scientific breakthroughs began with something bizarre. Award-winning author Polly Owen introduces 29 scientists who found answers in the most unexpected – and disgusting – places.  Told through hilarious comic-style storytelling, fascinating facts and vibrant illustrations, Super Disgusting Science Discoveries proves that curiosity, creativity – and, most importantly a strong stomach – can change the world.  This is the perfect read for curious kids who love science, history and all things gross!
