The final chapter of the book covers the emergence of indoor bathing, and early indoor plumbing in both England and France. A HISTORY OF THE WATER CLOSET, and 18th & 19th CENTURY ENGLISH WOMEN AT SEA by Marilyn Clay were both named to two online Top 100 Best-Selling E-books list. Three Regency Period Furniture Books by Marilyn Clay appeared on the same Best Seller list, with Baubles & Necessities Pertaining to Her Ladyship claiming the #1 Best Seller spot in the Antiques & Collectibles category. MARILYN CLAY is an award-winning author and respected historian of the Regency period in English history. For sixteen years, she published The Regency Plume, an international newsletter filled with articles useful to writers, historians and people interested in all aspects of the 18th and early 19th centuries in English history. Essays by Marilyn Clay were published in Encyclopedia of Romanticism: Culture in Britain from the 1780s to 1830s, found in many University libraries. MARILYN CLAY's published historical suspense novels include DECEPTIONS: A Jamestown Novel, praised by The Library Journal and Booklist. To escape an arranged marriage, Catherine leaves England for Jamestown in search of her childhood sweetheart. What she finds in the New World nearly destroys her! Twists and turns will keep readers guessing! SECRETS AND LIES: A Jamestown Novel. When four English girls travel to the New World on a Bride Ship to marry settlers and start families, they are instead shocked to discover that someone in Jamestown wants them all dead! The final event shocks the entire colony! BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY set in 1776 Philadelphia, another popular historical suspense novel by Marilyn Clay. Quaker Betsy Ross sets out to uncover who killed her beloved husband John Ross, but is instead drawn into a dangerous underworld of spies and double spies.

Marilyn Clay’s newest Regency romance is titled THE WRONG MISS FAIRFAX. Two look-alike cousins in London lead a love-struck nobleman on a merry chase. If the confused gentleman cannot sort out who is who, he just might propose to the wrong Miss Fairfax. Marilyn Clay’s STALKING A KILLER is a contemporary murder mystery set in Dallas. Aspiring PI Amanda Mason must clear her own father from a murder charge before the killer strikes again. MARILYN CLAY is also the designer of the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award. Marilyn was presented the first golden statuette when the RITA award was unveiled. For more information on the author, visit her website at Marilyn Clay Author.

Remaking the John
Author: Francesca Davis DiPiazza
Publisher: Twenty-First Century Books
ISBN: 1467747947
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Did you know that about 40 percent of the world's population lives without toilets? That's more than two billion people, most of whom live in rural areas or crowded urban slums. And according to the World Health Organization, diseases spread by the lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. In particular, diarrheal diseases kill more than two million people each year, most of them children. Everyone needs to go to the bathroom, and from the citizens of the world's earliest human settlements to astronauts living on the International Space Station, the challenge has been the same: how to safely and effectively dispose of human body wastes. Toilet history includes everything from the hunt for the causes of infectious disease to twenty-first-century marvels of engineering. In Remaking the John, you'll explore the many ways people across the globe and through the ages have invented—and reinvented—the toilet. You will learn about everything from ancient Roman sewers to the world's first flush toilets. You'll also find out about the twenty-first-century Reinvent the Toilet Challenge—an engineering contest designed to spur creation of an ecologically friendly, water-saving, inexpensive, and sanitary toilet. And while you're at it, mark World Toilet Day on your calendar. Observed every November 19, this international day of action works to raise awareness about the modern world's many sanitation challenges.
