Trace the fascinating history of sewage from the beginning of time - learn how we dealt with sewage in western and eastern cultures... from pits and night soil to fully reticulated sewage systems and biosolids re-use. This narrative non-fiction approach is entertaining, educational and humorous, capturing our primal attraction with POO.
