Pipes, privies, and plenty of plungers—The Almost Complete History of Plumbing flushes out the surprising, steamy, and often hilarious story of how humans learned to handle their business. From ancient aqueducts to Victorian sewers to today's smart toilets, Livy Weeks takes readers on a delightfully splashy journey through the history of getting clean and staying sanitary. Witty, weird, and wonderfully informative, this is the perfect read for anyone who's ever taken indoor plumbing for granted. Warning: may cause excessive appreciation for your bathroom.
