Whole Earth Review

Well written, practical, and thoroughly researched


Synopsis

There are almost seven billion defecating people on planet Earth, but few who have any clue about how to constructively handle the burgeoning mountain of human crap. "The Humanure Handbook, Third edition", will amuse you, educate you, and possibly offend you, but it will certainly pertain to you-unless, of course, your bowels never move. This new edition of The Humanure Handbook is: the tenth anniversary edition; richly illustrated; perfect for reading while sitting on the 'throne'; revised, improved, and updated; and there are 256 pages of crap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the environment!, 19 Jun 2007
By Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Due to a plumbing fault in the house, my family have been composting in the back garden on a daily basis for over a year. What a bonus to stumble upon this book and find out that our actions have been helping to preserve the future of our planet! A number of residents in our street have complainined that the local environment has been suffering from some rather unpleasant air pollution of late, so we feel proud to be putting something back.

5.0 out of 5 stars "dangerous writing, subversive, wonderful!!!", 16 Sep 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Humanure Handbook: Guide to Composting Human Manure Emphasizing Minimum Technology and Maximum Hygenic Safety (Paperback)
If you eat (therefore defecate), a must read ....... So much "fecophobia" has driven our society that this is (pardon the expression) a breath of fresh air. I can't say enough about the big picture approach Jenkins displays when discussing resourch recovery. Grandma said "what's taken from the earth, should go back" and can be easily and inexpensively started with thinking such as this book.

I can personally attest (I wish I could leave my Email add.) to the simplicity of Jenkins' system. In the wheel of life it has helped to close the circle.........

5.0 out of 5 stars Always wanted to write this one, but he did it first!!!!, 20 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Humanure Handbook: Guide to Composting Human Manure Emphasizing Minimum Technology and Maximum Hygenic Safety (Paperback)
This book tells all you'll ever need to know about how you can save the precious by-products of the food you eat. Joe tells us organic gardeners how (our shhhh)it can be completely recycled - safely and simply while saving lots of: 1. water, 2. time, 3. money spent on commercial fertilizer and/or 4. sweat lugging so much animal manure from far away places to our gardens.
