| Description |
|
|
Cat dung was supposed to cure the ague, and boar's dung was used for convulsions and cramps. Not only is dung the source of superstitions, it has fueled economies and created fortunes. Apart from being a versatile fertilizer, dung has been used to generate electricity and manufacture paper. In this copiously illustrated history, Caroline Holmes employs anecdotes and literary quotations, while covering such subjects as the value of guano, scatological political humor, and the 7000 varieties of dung beetle.
