Mark has been there for me since before the beginning of my book.  His support continued with the following helpful (and funny) blurb:

Like the tiny submarine in the 1966 film classic Fantastic Voyage, Charles Hodgson’s Carnal Knowledge takes us on a strange and wonderful tour through the human body. Here, though, the vessel is language itself: the body of words that we use to describe the various lobes, appendages, organs, and squishy things that we are made out of. Until I read Carnal Knowledge, I had no idea that my gnathion and menton were one and the same, that dandruff used to be called furfur, or that the first recipient of a cornea transplant was an antelope. Always witty, and ever informative, Carnal Knowledge puts the fun back in fundament!”

Since 1999 The Vocabula Review has been  attracting the attention of discriminating readers.  Robert was generous in offering me an endorsement blurb for my book.

He said:

More than a list of anatomical words and their meanings, Hodgson’s book fleshes out the meaning behind the words. This is a blood-and-guts encyclopedia, not some bone-dry dictionary. Even misologists (haters of knowledge) will find pleasure in Carnal Knowledge
