Flushed with success
The greatest single improvement to public health in this country was the development of public drainage and sewage systems. The amazingly clever flushing toilet was essential to the success of the larger engineering works. This book gives clear insight into a modern health marvel that we now all take for granted.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
