the toilet papers: recycling waste and conserving water (2nd edition) the toilet papers: recycling waste and conserving water (2nd edition)
Sim Van der Ryn

The book, originally published in 1978 way ahead of its time, now revised and reprinted, has a wider scope than The Humanure Handbook, and covers the ground more concisely. Provides an informative, irreverent look at the history of sanitary systems and a travelogue of how they do it in other cultures, followed by details of manufactured and home made wet or dry systems which will reduce water consumption and/or enable recycling of nutrients. Also looks at safe designs available today that reduce water consumption and avert the need for expensive treatment systems. 128pp

holy shit: managing manure to save mankind holy shit: managing manure to save mankind
Gene Logsdon

In this insightful new book, farmer Gene Logsdon provides the inside story of manure - our greatest, yet most misunderstood, natural resource. He begins by lamenting a modern society that not only throws away both animal and human manure, but also spends a staggering amount of money doing so. He argues if we do not learn how to turn our manures into fertiliser to keep food production in line with our increasing population, our civilisation will inevitably decline.

With his trademark humour, his years of experience of writing about both farming and waste management, and his uncanny eye for the small but important details, Logsdon artfully describes how to manage farm manure, pet manure and human manure, to make fertiliser and humus, covering a multitude of topics. 272pp
