Synopsis of The Big Necessity

«The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters» is the essay by Rose George, published by Holt Paperbacks in paperback.

In this work of social journalism, Rose George turns human waste into a public health issue: she travels through the sewers of Paris, London and New York and an Indian slum where 60,000 people share ten toilets, showing that poor sanitation kills millions every year. Humour and rigour to break the taboo.

The work was originally published in 2008; this reprint is from 2009. Text in English, 304 pages.

For non-fiction readers interested in public health, sociology, the environment and social journalism.
