Description

Book Synopsis

Hold your nose and dive into the smelly but surprisingly fascinating world of sewers!

From the mighty Cloaca Maxima of Ancient Rome to the revolting, waste-filled streets of the Middle Ages, and on to the ingenious pipes and tunnels of Joseph Bazalgette's Great London Sewer, this book uncovers the gross--and great--history of how humans have dealt with their dirty business.

With bright, hilarious, detail-packed illustrations by Rob Flowers, Flush It Down is packed with fun facts, weird tales, and thought-provoking discussions around the problems of human waste and how we can deal with the challenges facing us today. It's a wild, wacky ride through the underground--no rubber boots required!--and an engaging tie-in to biology and natural sciences curriculums.
