It is safe, efficient, necessary, nonpolitical, and utterly unremarkable. Yet Jamie Benidickson's examination of the social and legal history of sewage in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom demonstrates that the uncontroversial reputation of flushing is deceptive. The Culture of Flushing is particularly relevant in a time when community water quality can no longer be taken for granted, as it investigates and clarifies the murky evolution of waste treatment. The Culture of Flushing is essential reading for specialists in environmental history, environmental law, public health, engineering, and public policy. Those concerned with protecting water quality and the environment will also find it unique, comprehensive, and accessible. 410 0$aNature, history, society. 606 $aSewage$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aSewage$xLaw and legislation$xHistory 615 0$aSewage$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSewage$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 676 $a363.72/8 700 $aBenidickson$b Jamie$0478820 701 $aWynn$b Graeme$01581530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777749503321 996 $aThe culture of flushing$93863050 997 $aUNINA
