This was an excellent book about a subject that we all know a little about, but don't think about. Even handed in its approach, it also gives you the big picture about a world wide issue and possible solutions.
It's particularly involving in telling the stories of people working to make the world a better place, working on the issue of human waste, which most of us don't even realize is an issue.
Highly recommended.

Passing along in the "history of things" bookbox, which is the motivator that got me to read the book in the first place (after owning it for a decade or so.) Thanks, Bookcrossing!

I've heard of this book before and just can't resist taking it from the Biographies of Things bookbox. Thanks for including it!
