"This is a tightly argued, meticulously researched history of sanitation that reads like a novel."--Paula Byrne, The Times , "This is a tightly argued, meticulously researched history of sanitation that reads like a novel."--Paula Byrne, The Times "Lee Jackson stops to have a good poke around - and consider in fascinating, sometimes gruesome detail, the filth and nuisances of the time . . .

Synopsis
In Victorian London, filth was everywhere: horse traffic filled the streets with dung, household rubbish went uncollected, cesspools brimmed with "night soil," graveyards teemed with rotting corpses, the air itself was choked with smoke. In this intimately visceral book, Lee Jackson guides us through the underbelly of the Victorian metropolis, introducing us to the men and women who struggled to stem a rising tide of pollution and dirt, and the forces that opposed them. Through thematic chapters, Jackson describes how Victorian reformers met with both triumph and disaster. Full of individual stories and overlooked details--from the dustmen who grew rich from recycling, to the peculiar history of the public toilet--this riveting book gives us a fresh insight into the minutiae of daily life and the wider challenges posed by the unprecedented growth of the Victorian capital.

- p***o (188)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe item was in fine condition. This is the version of how Sonic met Eggman that has it make sense that he did. it was respectful of Sonic to interpret that he could swim or jump way too high or would use his speed enough to get a camera to taunt Eggman. It was smart of Eggman that he could instantly bring back the wrecking ball after the boss fight of Marble Zone. The plot has one of the most believable ways Eggman got made a villain, he was distracted while using the machine.
