Lady Bones by Earle Hackett presents a witty and illuminating collection of pieces originally dissected — both literally and figuratively — from the celebrated Body Programme of the ABC. Drawing on the rich tradition of accessible science writing, Hackett dismantles complex biological concepts with surgical precision and a refreshingly irreverent hand, guiding the reader through the remarkable architecture of the human form with clarity and charm. Each piece stands as a self-contained meditation on anatomy, physiology, and what it truly means to inhabit a body.\n\nRooted in the tradition of popular science communication, Lady Bones bridges the gap between academic rigour and public curiosity, reflecting the growing appetite in mid-to-late twentieth century Australia for scientifically literate, engaging broadcast content translated into print. Hackett's prose is dry, incisive, and occasionally darkly humorous — the voice of a seasoned scientist who knows that the best way to teach is to first make you laugh. Whether you are a student of biology, a curious layperson, or simply someone who has ever wondered what holds you together, this collection will leave you looking at your own skeleton in an entirely new light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572994969819,"sku":"2026100011203-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5533b7a1-b7b7-4f8f-a911-1448a0c56ae9.png?v=1791167634","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011203-secondhand-lady-bones-pieces-dissected-from-the-body-programme-of-the-abc","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
