This book takes us underground to the sewers of NYC and London and overground, to meet the heroes of India's sanitation movement, the Japanese genius at the cutting edge of toilet technology, and the biosolids lobbying team. Rose George confronts the last taboo and takes us on an unprecedented tour through a world knee-deep in pestilential sewage - which remains the most significant global issue about which few talk or think.

Pressestimmen

* 'The first popular study written on the subject. And popular it deserves to be. George has the right kind of breezy serious approach needed with this universal taboo.' Daily Mail * 'A fascinating, wise, calm and scrupulously drawn portrait of the world and its waste - [this is] a seriously important book.' Simon Winchester * 'George bravely submerges herself in the tragedy and occasional comedy of global sanitation. Sludge, biogas, sewage: I ate up and wanted more! The most unforgettable book to pass through the publishing pipeline in years.' Mary Roach, author of Stiff and Bonk
