Human Waste
In our globally conscious world today, we need to take stock in how the human species impacts its environment, the whole environment of Earth. This collection of essays helps readers understand this often over-looked issue. Essays debate whether biosolids are safe, what health risks are imposed by human sewage, what diapers are doing as just one example, and how human waste still divides castes in India.
