Reviews

Flynn adopts a playful but knowledgeable tone as he walks readers through a quick history of waste disposal and sanitation practices (or the lack thereof--we're looking at you, medieval Europe). . . .A helpful breakdown of the five-step cleaning process, clearly illustrated with diagrams and photos, demystifies not only how wastewater is purified but why. Without becoming glib or overly reliant on gross-out humor, this book expertly filters its facts and fun.-- "Booklist"
