Book Review of The Origin of Feces: What Excrement Tells Us About Evolution, Ecology, and a Sustainable Society

esjro avatar reviewed on + 918 more book reviews


What a sh***y book! (Sorry, couldn't resist). Some of this book is about how feces originates from animals big and small:
single-cell organisms, elephants and everything in between. But the focus is on ecology and how to deal with all the waste life creates.

The book wanders a bit in places, but has enough interesting facts and poop jokes to keep the reader entertained.
