Canadian Geographic Reviews The Origin of Feces

Canadian Geographic recently reviewed The Origin of Feces by David Waltner-Toews. Reviewer Nic Walker writes, "At the heart (or gut) of The Origin of Feces is the idea that whether we like it or not, excrement is not only connected to every aspect of our lives but is also a crucial ingredient of life itself...Those sorts of ideas, along with a load of surprising facts and a good dose of levity (your inner five-year-old will think the poop jokes are hilarious), make for an enjoyably absorbing and profound read."
