Are loud farts really odorless?
What seems obvious at first glance isn’t necessarily so.
Our bodies and medicine—full of even more amazing and intriguing secrets!

During a serious science lesson on the human digestive system, “Do Mugi” couldn’t help but let out a loud fart. “Jeong Rihae,” who’d been feeling a bit under the weather already, took the opportunity to release a silent one. The smell sent the kids into an uproar, yet Do Mugi insisted that loud farts aren’t smelly. Is it really true, as he claims, that silent farts stink while loud ones don’t? And besides, what exactly makes a fart smell?

“The Shamelessly Bold Book of Science” explores “our bodies and medicine”—topics that seem so obvious you almost think you already know everything. Silent farts are smellier, bigger heads mean greater intelligence, animal blood is undoubtedly all red, blood is made by the heart, people with type A blood are introverted… If any of these points leave you puzzled, open this book right away. Through humorous little stories that read like sitcoms and lively cartoons, scientific facts become easy to grasp.

Starting with “our bodies and medicine,” “The Shamelessly Bold Book of Science” plans to continue with other engaging series, including “engineering technology” and “astronomy and the universe.”
① The Shamelessly Bold Book of Science—About Our Bodies and Medicine: Things That Seem Obvious Yet Almost Make You Think You Already Know It All
② The Truly Shamelessly Bold Book of Science—About Engineering Technology: Things That Seem Obvious Yet Almost Make You Think You Already Know It All
③ The Absolutely Shamelessly Bold Book of Science—About Astronomy and the Universe: Things That Seem Obvious Yet Almost Make You Think You Already Know It All

Even the things we take for granted can seem extraordinary upon a second look—truly astonishing and fascinating!
A wholly unconventional science series that invites you to reexamine what you’ve long considered ordinary!

Up until now, no science book has focused on the misconceptions we’ve held all along, the knowledge we thought we understood but was actually mistaken, and the facts we so often get wrong. That’s why “The Shamelessly Bold Book of Science” zeroes in on three key points:
First, we actually harbor far more scientific errors than we realize!
Second, we keep making the same mistakes over and over again!
Third, once we understand and correct them, we’ll never slip up again!

“The Shamelessly Bold Book of Science” sets out to right many people’s misguided “correct” beliefs and to help readers grasp the truth in a simple, foolproof way—so that if you get it wrong once, you’ll never make the same mistake again. The experience of finally setting long‑held misconceptions straight will bring readers even greater satisfaction.
