About the book: 2020 / What does the expression “put out the fire in the fireplace” mean? What do you think of the idea of public restrooms? Did you know that the ancient Greek King Minos was one of the first owners of the comfortable “toilet throne” with flushing? What do you think about space diapers? The history of the toilet really goes back to the deep past, and it is very interesting to trace how the attitude towards the natural needs of man has changed from century to century, how from the chamber pot we came to toilet rooms with warm floors and designer renovations. Polish writer Iwona Wierzba has done a great job, studying all aspects of this topic - from moral and ethical to physiological.
