{"product_id":"the-story-of-shit","title":"The Story of Shit","description":"A wonderfully wry, erudite and altogether charming investigation into the most rarely discussed of bodily functions: defecation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are very discreet. We disappear into a small room, perform the task, flush, wash and reappear as if nothing happened. Of course, hygiene is necessary - some faecal bacteria, if re-ingested, can cause very serious problems - and unpleasant aromas are best kept at bay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut in all this hygienic discretion have we lost touch with an integral part of ourselves - something as much a part of living as breathing, eating and sleeping? Something enriching, creative and even enjoyable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Shit\u003c\/i\u003e, Dutch biologist Midas Dekkers presents a personal, cultural, scientific, historical and environmental account of shit, from the digestive process and the fascinating workings of the gut, to the act of defecation and toilet etiquette. With irreverent humour and a compelling narrative style, Dekkers brings a refreshing, entertaining and illuminating perspective to a once-taboo subject.","brand":"Midas Dekkers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516770779197,"sku":null,"price":31.34,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781925355178.jpg?v=1787572637","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-story-of-shit","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
