Toxic Nursery by Carlie Martece

Toxic Nursery by Carlie Martece

Food is the body's fuel--but what happens to each yummy mouthful from the moment you take a bite? The Stickmen unravel the long process of digestion carried out by your winding system of guts. Learn about your stomach and its army of acids, the chemical powerhouse in your liver, and your busy kidneys that keep you toxin-free. Find out how you get energy and heat from food and how your body gets rid of the stuff it doesn't need. Illustrations, diagrams, and text tell all about the mashing, squeezing, pushing, and filtering that happen along your digestive system.

Carlie Martece is an artist and writer who resides in a dark but hilarious dreamworld. She wrote her first book, Toxic Nursery, as a creative response to people wanting to know the story behind her unusual artwork. Her second book, the dystopian, cyberpunk Deragon Hex, is her first work of science fiction. Both books are part of the Constructed Sanity Sequence, a trilogy of trilogies that will become increasingly entangled as their overall story progresses.

The writer is now living in a rather interesting sequel and continues to share her creations with the world via her website at www.carliemartece.com.
