A wonderfully wry, erudite and altogether charming investigation into the most rarely discussed of bodily functions�
We are very discreet. We disappear into a small room, perform the task, flush, wash and reappear as if nothing happened. Of course, hygiene is necessary, some bacteria, if re-ingested, can cause very serious problems - and unpleasant aromas are best kept at bay.
But in all this hygienic discretion have we lost touch with an integral part of ourselves - something as much a part of living as breathing, eating and sleeping? Something enriching, creative and even enjoyable.
Dutch biologist Midas Dekkers presents a personal, cultural, scientific, historical and environmental account of poo, from the digestive process and the fascinating workings of the gut, to the act itself and toilet etiquette. With irreverent humour and a compelling narrative style, Dekkers brings a refreshing, entertaining and illuminating perspective to a once-taboo subject.
