"Whether it's a gag gift, a toilet-side alternative to Sudoku or just some light, easily digestible po(o)p-sci fare, The Origin of Feces is sure to be a fun and pungent read." -- Bookish.com, "David Waltner-Toews picks up the thread with his impassioned treatise on the long, strange, even transcendent afterlife of poop in The Origin of Feces, a book whose cover is guaranteed to make you few friends at the coffee shop." Peter Brannan, slate.com, "David Waltner-Toews picks up the thread with his impassioned treatise on the long, strange, even transcendent afterlife of poop in The Origin of Feces, a book whose cover is guaranteed to make you few friends at the coffee shop." -Peter Brannan, slate.com, "This is a rare book in that it offers something for everyone on your Christmas book list: the epidemiologist, the economist, the microbiologist, the anthropologist, sociologist and historian. The classicist will appreciate the numerous knowledgeable references to Roman, Greek and Babylonian culture and mythology, the literary scholar the etymologies and derivations, as well as the quotations from Blake." -Tim Sly, Literary Review of Canada, "Waltner-Toews takes as humorous approach to the scatological subject as you can; one chapter is titled 'The Other Dark Matter.' But at the heart of the book is a rather weighty message: 'Unless we change how we think about' waste, he writes, 'we are doomed to forever live in it.'" -- The Washington Post, "whether it's a gag gift, a toilet-side alternative to Sudoku or just some light, easily digestible po(o)p-sci fare, The Origin of Feces is sure to be a fun and pungent read." Bookish, "More than just a "bathroom read", this book offers delightful revelations of the history, evolution, and effects our bowel movements have on our world." Publisher's Weekly, "whether it's a gag gift, a toilet-side alternative to Sudoku or just some light, easily digestible po(o)p-sci fare, The Origin of Feces is sure to be a fun and pungent read." - Bookish, "This is a rare book in that it offers something for everyone on your Christmas book list: the epidemiologist, the economist, the microbiologist, the anthropologist, sociologist and historian. The classicist will appreciate the numerous knowledgeable references to Roman, Greek and Babylonian culture and mythology, the literary scholar the etymologies and derivations, as well as the quotations from Blake." Tim Sly, Literary Review of Canada, "In many modern societies, poop is perceived as a problem-- potentially dangerous waste that has no place in our lives... in the cleverly-named The Origin of Feces , Canadian veterinarian and epidemiologist Waltner-Toews does the dirty work of dispelling that perception." -- National Geographic, "More than just a "bathroom read", this book offers delightful revelations of the history, evolution, and effects our bowel movements have on our world." - Publisher's Weekly, "It may be a poor topic for polite company, but we can learn a tremendous amount from both human and animal waste.... Until you read this, you really won't know sh*t." -- Publishers Weekly , starred

Synopsis
The Origin of Feces takes an important subject out of locker-rooms, potty-training manuals, and bio-solids management boardrooms into the fresh air of everyone's lives. 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., An entertaining and enlightening exploration of why waste matters The Origin of Feces takes an important subject out of locker-rooms, potty-training manuals, and bio-solids management boardrooms into the fresh air of everyone's lives.
