From primordial ooze, dung beetles, bug frass, cat scats, and flush toilets to global trade, pandemics, and energy, this is the awesome, troubled, uncensored story of feces.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 573.49 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 573.49 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
