A list of "Ten Facts About Toilets, Bathtubs, Sinks, and Sewers" includes the fact that Albert Einstein once said that if he had it to do all over again, he would become a plumber. The book includes an extensive bibliography and webliography.</p>...827501Toilets, Bathtubs, Sinks, and Sewers: A History of the Bathroom1818https://www.gandhi.com.mx/toilets-bathtubs-sinks-and-sewers-a-history-of-the-bathroom-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1055932/b314bf2f-b3dd-47b3-8a94-9b6a278bdaa6.jpg?v=638337282413170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119780984960705_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_<p>A fascinating, lively account of toilets, tubs, and sanitation systems with intriguingly catchy chapter titles from "Splish, Splash, the First Bath," "The Queens Toilet," "Ugh, Gross!" to "Bathrooms Beyond Belief."
