Overview
Pooing and peeing is now something that we prefer to do in private and not give much thought to unless we are constipated or restricted to close proximity to a toilet due to over enthusiasm in the Indian restaurant the previous evening when drunkenly ordering "The hottest dish on the menu!". This fully illustrated book takes the reader on a fascinating five-thousand-year exploration of toilet history. This starts with the Neolithic flushed toilets in the Orkney Isles, to the sophisticated Minoan and Roman latrines, the inventions of Thomas Crapper and the widespread use of maize corn cobs before the invention of toilet paper which was comfortingly advertised as "guaranteed splinter free". The story finally takes us into space with the zero gravity contraptions used in the International Space Station.This story is a must to have on the toilet bookshelf to pass the time whilst waiting for nature to take its course.
