The book traces toilet designs from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to Roman latrines, medieval garderobes, and later innovations such as flushing water closets, chamber pots, urinals, and the spread of toilet paper. It also highlights regional language and etiquette for asking where toilets are, using dates and examples to show how universal needs produce strikingly different solutions.","100
