The Big Necessity: Sanitation and Toilets and Human Waste

Rose George is the author of The Big Necessity, a book about sanitation and human waste. She was working for Benetton in Italy when she came up with the idea to do a book about shit. Her boss Olivier de Toscani got out of his chair and started walking around the room going, yes, let's do a bookAboutShit! "I just think that as far as the funniest thing there is, it makes a funny sound," she says.
