Bringing bodily functions out of the (water) closet into polite conversation...

This guide sparks a radical rethinking of our relationship with our bodies and Nature, humorously (and seriously) spanning the gamut of everything you ever wanted to know about bodily functions and excreta. Each bodily function is discussed from a variety of viewpoints: scientific, anthropological, historical, mythological, sociological, and artistic. A survey of questions include: Do you get “asparagus pee,” “coffee pee,” and “neon multivitamin pee”? Where, typically, do you pick your nose - bathroom, car, kitchen? What do you do with nose “boogers” once you've snagged them? And many other meditations on our excretions.

Topics include constipation (such as its relationship to cornflakes and graham crackers!); the history and evolution of toilet paper; farting (spotlighting the famous Joseph Pujol, a turn-of-the-century Fartiste who was so famous internationally for his fart-singing and comedy routines that a street was named after him in Paris); urine (including little-known facts about urinalysis); as well as many other engrossing topics.

Contents include: Mucus, Saliva, Sweat, Vomit, Urine, Farting, Feces, Earwax, Toe Cheese, and many others.

As our culture undergoes profound transformation concerning its relationship with Nature and the Earth, how can we realign with nature globally if we can't deal with our own excreta taboos and bodily functions?
