The Origin of Feces by David Waltner-Toews

The Origin of Feces by David Waltner-Toews

The Origin of Feces takes an important subject out of locker-rooms, potty-training manuals and bio-solids management boardrooms, bringing it into the fresh air of everyone's lives. With insight and wit, David Waltner-Toews explores what has been too often ignored as he makes a compelling argument for a deeper understanding of waste. Waltner-Toews shows how integral excrement is to biodiversity, agriculture, public health, food production, food distribution and ecosystems. It serves as a reminder that unless we change how we think about shit, we are doomed to live in it.

David Waltner-Toews is arguably best known for his funny pieces in Harrowsmith, some of which have been collected into books. He has worked on a variety of health, environmental, and international development challenges, as well as zoonotic disease and animal production research initiatives. One Animal Among Many was his debut book. He teaches veterinary epidemiology at the University of Guelph.
