What reading level is The Second book of General Ignorance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the popular mind, lepers have rotting flesh and parts of their bodies drop off.
It doesn’t work like that. Leprosy – or Hansen’s disease as it’s now called – is an infectious bacterial disease that affects the skin and damages nerve-endings. This means that sufferers can’t feel pain and so repeatedly injure their fingers and toes. Over time these wounds become infected and leave disfiguring scars.
It is these injuries, not the disease itself, that cause the deformities leprosy is famous for. ...People can live into old age with the disease as it doesn’t attack vital organs but, left untreated, it can cause crippling disabilities and even blindness.
Leprosy is from the Greek lepros (‘scaly’). Ironically, it comes from the same root as the word Lepidoptera (‘scale wings’), the scientific name for butterflies. For many centuries, the word ‘leprosy’ was used indiscriminately to cover a broad range of disfiguring skin diseases. A ‘leper’ might just as easily have been someone with a bad case of psoriasis.
