Flushed: How the Plumber Saved CivilizationThe unsung hero of human history was, of course, the Brain of Drains, the Hub of Tubs, the Power of Showers, the Brewer of Sewers the humble plumber. W. Hodding Carter When we consider the amenities that really make a difference in our well being, surely good plumbing must rank near the top. But rarely have we taken the time to appreciate the engineering marvels that bring clean water into our homes with the turn of a tap and the flip of a lever.

The unsung hero of human history was, of course, the Brain of Drains, the Hub of Tubs, the Power of Showers, the Brewer of Sewers...the humble plumber. -- W. Hodding Carter

When we consider the amenities that really make a difference in our well-being, surely good plumbing must rank near the top. But rarely have we taken the time to appreciate the engineering marvels that bring clean water into our homes with the turn of a tap and the flip of a lever. Until now.

Witty, anecdotal, and thoroughly entertaining, Flushed chronicles the long and notable history of plumbing, while following Hodding Carter's travels and travails around the most underappreciated pillar of civilization. It's a winning combination of history, science, and firsthand experience -- a book that will both entertain and educate those who have never contemplated the hidden intricacies of this miracle of everyday technology.

Easy access from the wonderful design
I love this jewelry box!!! It holds sooo much and everything is easy and convenient to access with the spinning design! Functioning: The designated hooks for necklaces keep them from getting tangled. The slide out drawers are easy to pull and I love that it has space specifically for bracelets or watches! I am thrilled with the holes to keep earrings together and pairs easy to grab, dangling or hoops work well on in the side area. All that is awesome , but pair it with the tray design on top to catch the jewelry I would otherwise toss on the dresser in a hurry and it's just a fabulous design. The leather exterior is beautiful. I wasn't sure about it not being wood, but the quality is fantastic and I'm so happy I took the chance and got it!!! Well worth the price and would make a great gift!

So cute and great for travel! Lots of organization areas, easy to use, very durable and not made cheap, the zipper closes just fine and it’s compact for traveling or storing under the sink.
