Poop Happened: A History of the World From the Bottom Up
by Sarah Albee


What an inspired and inspiring read! From early history to modern times, Albee introduces us to customs, occupational hazards, and heroes related to how humans have dealt with our own wastes. Anyone choosing a career path would do well to aquaint him or herself with the terms "gongfermor," "fuller," and many others in this wonderful book. Then make sure you don't become one of those! This is definitely the number one book on number two!

Hello Steve,
I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your lovely words about POOP! It means a lot, coming from a librarian. And from VERMONT no less! I am a native of South Burlington.
