   Ordered for J 628.3 in a public library. Very comprehensive book on the history of the toilet and public sanitation since the fall of the Roman Empire. Good for invention projects or science fairs.

   Say goodbye to not thinking about the toilet. That was the affect that this book had on me. Due to the title that gives the book away, this book is on how the toilet has changed history. The book is a timeline that starts from eons ago to present day. That part was pretty cool. However I think that the book should be called "How plumbing changed history" because in the book it branched out and talked about way more than just the toilet alone. A whole chapter is about bathhouses in Rome. I believ Say goodbye to not thinking about the toilet. That was the affect that this book had on me.

A whole chapter is about bathhouses in Rome. I believe that the overall theme that Perdew was going for is that something so small has such a big impact on who we are today. I used this book for a research paper I was writing and found it extremely helpful. Recommending audiences would be someone who is not afraid to talk about strange things, and finds interest in uncommon things. This book you could say "opened my eyes" it talks about the people that do not have a toilet in their life. In conclusion this is a fantastic book for those who want to learn something they never knew, and those that want to know how the toilet changed the world.

   I found this book to be fascinating! I love learning about the history of amazing inventions and technologies that we now just take for granted. It's also intriguing to learn about new innovations. I find it sad to know there are still billions of people living in our world today who do not have access to proper sanitation. Not to mention, the ongoing deaths of innocent children from diseases that are preventable! I found this book to be fascinating!
