A history of toilets -- Toilets of North America -- Toilets of Central and South America -- Toilets of Europe -- Toilets of Africa -- Toilets of Oceania -- Toilets of Asia.
This amusing but highly informative photographic journey reveals the idiosyncrasy and inventiveness that characterize the construction of the humble toilet around the globe. Along the way, the reader encounters every possible permutation, from the traditional English thunderbox to the Swazi thatched beehive hut, and discovers the fascinating cultural and historical differences that can make our travels to other countries so enjoyable.
