David Shaw was born in Leeds, UK. He has worked at Deutsche Welle, Germany's international news broadcaster since 1995. Shaw has an M.A. from the University of Bath in Interpreting and Translating German and Russian, where his thesis was on the adaptation of German Television news texts for an international, English speaking audience. He regularly translates books from German to English.
Enders's wonder at the strange ways of the gut is matched only by
her incredulity at the limited public knowledge on the subject.
--The New York Times With a great sense of humor and ample
enthusiasm, Enders explains everything readers did and didn't want
to know about their innards ... this book defies
boring.--Publishers Weekly This primer is everything you ever
wanted to know about the gut (and then some), chattily and
accessibly written in a uniquely Millennial and matter of fact way.
An unexpected page turner. ...Her excitement about the subject
matter is infectious. The fun yet informative black and white
drawings throughout are her sister's handiwork. Refreshingly devoid
of recipes, or any self help-y language. --Self Magazine . . . a
truly bottoms-up approach to our digestive health, smoothly moving
us through the inner workings of our gastrointestinal tract.
--Anish Sheth, MD, author of What's Your Poo Telling You Gut's
probe into the human digestive system might be seen as an earnest
younger sibling to Gulp, Mary Roach's 2013 investigation into the
same subject. The comparison isn't meant as a slight; Enders swaps
out Roach's knowing wryness with a kind of puplike enthusiasm for
the complex mechanisms that convert food into a body's energy and
waste without our even thinking about it. --The National Post
