audio book released

the book about the words we use for our bodies

Did you know:
• CALLIPYGIAN means “having beautiful buttocks”?

• The word SIDEBURNS comes to us courtesy of U.S. Civil War Gen. Ambrose Burnside?

• Victorian poet Robert Browning used a very rude word but never knew it?

A treat for anyone who gets a kick out of words, Carnal Knowledge is also the perfect gift for anyone interested in the human body and the many ways it’s been described.

“presented with deftness and wit” – Lynne Truss
"master etymologist offers a passionate lesson” – Richard Lederer

“entertain your brain…tickle your funny bone” – Erin McKean
