All the Modern Conveniences by Maureen Ogle

She examines advancements in water-supply and waste-management technology, the architectural considerations these amenities entailed, and the scientific approach to sanitation that began to emerge by century's end.

Goes well beyond any provious account in delineating how fresh and waste water systems had an impact on domestic life in the mid-nineteenth century. American Studies International
