Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization par W. Hodding Carter

An amusing, anecdotal book about plumbing and sewage systems. Starts off with the Greeks and Romans and ends up with new technology such as biogas digesters and microbial fuel cells. Not an academic book at all, but still interesting.

There are some great plumbing stories too as the author explores various plumbing systems from around the world.… (plus d'informations)
