History finally comes out of the water-closet in this exploration of how people's need to relieve themselves shaped human development from ancient times to the present. Throughout time, the most successful civilizations were the ones who realized that
everyone poops, and they had better figure out how to get rid of it! From the world's first flushing toilet invented by ancient Minoan plumbers to castle moats in the middle ages that used more than just water to repel enemies, Sarah Albee traces human civilization using one revolting yet fascinating theme.
A blend of historical photos and humorous illustrations bring the answers to these questions and more to life, plus extra-gross sidebar information adds to the potty humor. This is bathroom reading kids, teachers,

Poop Happened!: A History of the World from the Bottom Up
This book is crappy. (Sorry it was too easy and I couldn't resist). Honestly the book was solid (okay no pun intended this time). There was enough humor to make it interesting (and no it's not all potty humor), but the book also opened my eyes to a topic I know for a fact I never would have even thought about. Flushing toilets and decent sewer systems have been used for around 100 years. Just stop and think for a second what people did with poop before that. The answer isn't outhouses. I don't want to give it away but this book will give you more then enough info on the subject. Only downside is I found parts being repetitive. The same facts would be told three or four times, just in a slightly different way. Might not be the best read cover to cover, but skimming certain parts is well worth it.
