Passing Gas

A collection of photo portraits of Americans who live in ridiculously named towns, accompanied by colorful local stories.

Flying fish in the operating room and doctors who dress like giant colon polyps? That's right, it's all here and more in the story of Dr. Bart Borsky, an anesthesiologist who has been saying 'yes' to drugs for his patients since 1991. Dr. Borsky is also the author of the book on reverse psychology 'Please Don't Buy This!' which sold very few copies.

This book on "fart" is meant to be both fun and educational at the same time. It will explore in depth about why flatulence occurs and what exactly happens in our body to cause gas. Children will also learn about why farts create different sounds and smells. There are very good reasons for why farts smell and sound the way they do, so it is important to learn these reasons. Not only will this help them manage their own farts better, but can help educate others as well. It may seem like an uncomfortable topic to talk about with their friends and family, but it doesn't have to be. Flatulence is a biological function that could even be caused by diseases or cancers in the body. Although these are rare causes of flatulence, it is important that we understand it completely so that we can judge for ourselves if our excessive fart problem is something serious. This book will help children and adults alike and hence appreciate farts for what they are without always thinking bad about them. Topics covered in this book Introduction What is fart and flatulence The digestive system and flatulence Why do we fart - causes of flatulence Chemical composition of fart Why does fart smell so bad What causes farting sound Is smelling fart is good for you How to reduce flatulence Conclusion Further reading and credits

For use in schools and libraries only. Provides a straightforward look at a natural body function, explaining how and why gas is produced and eliminated.

A hilariously informative book of facts, farts, and fun! Dogs fart. Cats fart. Horses fart (a lot). But what about snakes? Spiders? Octopuses? What about chimpanzees? Cheetahs? Or dinosaurs? In this gaseous guide to kids' favorite animals (and some they've probably never heard of), young readers will discover not only which animals pass gas, but also which have the stinkiest farts, which fart the most, and where all this smelly stuff comes from. They'll even learn which species has its own secret fart code! Perfect for reluctant readers, and with full-color illustrations throughout, Does It Fart? is the funniest book you never knew you needed. Based on the New York Times bestseller Does It Fart?: The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence.

Simple text and illustrations tell the story of why we pass gas.

Everyone Farts - It's OK to pass gas teaches children about farting including who farts, and when it is ok to fart.

Liquid-Gas and Solid-Gas Separators, part of the Industrial Equipment for Chemical Engineering set, details the magnetic properties of solids and their separation in a magnetic field. After a thorough description of the electronic filter and its functioning, numerical examples are given for the functioning of Venturi (which is a convergent–divergent). The centrifugal separator with superimposed plates theory is also developed alongside the screw-mud-pump. The author also provides the methods needed for understanding the equipment used in applied thermodynamics in the hope of encouraging students and engineers to self build the programs they need. Chapters are complemented with appendices that provide additional information and associated references. Presents a comprehensive example of a real-world simulation of a venturi Examines a centrifugal decanter designed to separate the components of a liquid–solid Details the magnetic properties of solids and their separation in a magnetic field
