La mayor necesidad

Un paseo por las cloacas del mundo

La mayor necesidad

• This book is an attempt to break down the taboo surrounding human waste and its  management.  A problem that involves the first cause of death in the world.
 
• Irreverent and solidly researched, this essay examines the recycling of what is commonly called wastewater.
 
• Journalist Rose George ventures into the sewers of the major European cities and visits the slums of India to show us what is done—and what is not done—with our faeces.

REVIEWS AND CRITIQUES

“Rose George's subject —the global politics of defecation— is both superbly indelicate and morally imperative. With the basic health and dignity of several billion poor people at stake, we need to take s**t seriously in the most literal sense. Human solidarity, as she so passionately demonstrates, begins with the squatting multitudes.”—Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums
