Reviews

<p> An essential perspective on the modern world... The text offers an abundance of detailed information on the development of tubs, showers, toilets, and sinks... Goes well beyond any provious account in delineating how fresh and waste water systems had an impact on domestic life in the mid-nineteenth century. -- American Studies International
