Shit happens


No, for once I'm not talking about the Bush administration.

I'm talking about a fitting book to follow the incomparable "How to Shit in the Woods" by Kathleen Meyer.

"Humanure Handbook: A Guide To Composting Human Manure" by Joseph Jenkins

A review in the magazine 'Earth First! Journal' calls it: "An eco-Luddite anarchist's potty training manual."

The publisher says the author "boldly steps where no author has gone before. The book will surprise you with its timely relevance, delight you with its humor, and impress you with its thorough research. Brilliantly simple, profoundly mundane, this is one book you will never forget. Full of "eye-candy" illustrations..."

A book I'll never forget, maybe, but I am a little wary of those "eye-candy illustrations."

You can get it at Powells.com
