Description
The Great Stink: How Joseph Bazalgette Solved London's Poop Pollution Problem
In the summer of 1858, London's River Thames was a revolting sight, filled with the putrid smell of human waste. But this was only the beginning of the problem - every few years, cholera would break out, claiming thousands of lives. One engineer, Joseph Bazalgette, had a vision to create a new sewer system to clean the river and save lives.
His grand plan was an engineering marvel, and his sewers would go on to save countless lives. This fascinating story of science, history, and one person's determination to make a difference is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in how one person can create change.
