Poop Happened by Sarah Albee

Which is more important to your life: Cellphones, computers or flush toilets? Before you answer that, stop and think what the world would be like without the other choice. If you didn't make your choice the flush toilet, you really need to read this book. If you did, you will still enjoy this take on world history. Where did the crowds go when nature called and they were at the games in Rome? Why could you smell some towns miles away? What do delousers, gongfermors, and fullers really do for a living and would you take that job if that was the only way you might earn money to live? Why do we have cholera to thank for our modern government? Maybe you can teach your teachers a few facts about the ancient country you are studying. Just don't blame me if you get detention from your addition to the curriculum. But please, don't decide that people living in the Middle Ages had the right idea about taking baths for your fellow students' sake.
