Recenzii
"Evidence in this volume, and hopefully future research inspired by it, is relevant to grounding several theoretical frameworks in anthropology and related disciplines, namely public health, particularly epidemiologic transition theory, and, more specifically, the hygiene hypothesis."
- Molly K. Zuckerman, Mississippi State University, USA
"[this book] is the first collected work on this subject and it appearance is timely given recent scholarly interest in parasties and health in bio-archaeology. The book is notable for drawing together studies that approach hygiene and sanitation from diverse perspectives: a wide range of topics are represented"

Descriere
This book brings together experts from around the world to explore how sanitation affected our ancestors. By its end, readers will realise that toilets were in use in ancient Mesopotamia even before the invention of writing, and that flushing toilets with anatomic seats were a technology of ancient Greece at the time of the minotaur myth. While past views on sanitation were different to those of today, it is clear than many societies took sanitation far more seriously than previously thought.
