THE ORIGIN OF FECES
What Excrement Tells Us About Evolution, Ecology, and a Sustainable Society
An entertaining and enlightening exploration of why waste matters
An entertaining and enlightening exploration of why waste matters
With insight and wit, David Waltner-Toews explores what has been too often ignored and makes a compelling argument for a deeper understanding of human and animal waste. Approaching the subject from a variety of perspectives - evolutionary, ecological, and cultural - THE ORIGIN OF FECES shows us how integral excrement is to biodiversity, agriculture, public health, food production and distribution, and global ecosystems. From the primordial ooze to dung beetles, from bug frass, cat scats, and flush toilets to global trade, pandemics, and energy, this is the awesome, troubled, unexpurgated story of feces.
David Waltner-Toews is a veterinarian and epidemiologist, and the author of two previous popular science books.
