...Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters delves into the taboo subject of bowel evacuation, with tact, sensitivity - and the right amount of style. Reporting on the sewers of London and the slums of New Delhi and the high-tech toilets of Tokyo, George comes to understand that sanitation is no laughing matter - it's the difference between life and death. "I thought a toilet was my right," writes George in the book's introduction. "It was a privilege." (Listen to George talk about the global sanitation crisis in this week's Greencast...
