Everything you ever wanted to know about waste - and a little more. Want to dig through the muck to your heart's content? Explore trash, climb into dumpsters, and admire sewer pipes from the inside? Melanie Laibl and Lili Richter make it possible. They dedicate their new non-fiction book to what we usually prefer to quickly remove from our eyes and noses - and take a close look at it: our waste in all its forms. With plenty of spirit, humor, and without shying away from just about anything, they present in text and illustration over 20 double pages how multifaceted, fascinating, and impressive the topic of garbage can be. The scope ranges from the cycle of nature (where there is actually no waste) and human bodily waste, including the history of toilets and toilet paper, to topics such as storage, separation, recycling, and water.
