An updated edition of an underground classic This is the 4th edition of a self-published book that no respectable publisher would touch with a ten-foot shovel. The 1st edition was published in 1994 with a print run of 600 copies, which the author expected to watch decompose in his garage for the rest of his life. Now, 24 years later, the book has sold over 65,000 print copies in the U.S. alone, been translated in whole or in part into 19 languages and been published in foreign editions on four continents. The previous editions won numerous awards, including the Independent Publisher Outstanding Book of the Year Award, deeming the book "Most Likely to Save the Planet.” The book has been mentioned on such diverse media outlets as: Mother Earth News, Whole Earth Review, Countryside Journal, The Journal of Environmental Quality, Natural Health, NPR, BBC, CBC, Howard Stern, The Wall Street Journal, Playboy Magazine, Organic Gardening Magazine, the History Channel, Tree House Masters, and many other national and international venues. The 4th edition is a completely revised, expanded, and updated version of what has become an underground classic bestseller. The author draws from 40 years of research, experience, and travel, to expand and clarify your knowledge and understanding of... your poop! Not only does the book address what to do with human turds, but it is also a priceless manual for anyone involved in composting or gardening, or looking for basic survival skills. There is no other book like this in print!

From the author of The Humanure Handbook, an expert guide to compost toilets you can build yourself The Compost Toilet Handbook is an illustrated instructional manual explaining how to make, use, and manage compost toilets, which are waste-free toilets that rely on the biological process of composting to recycle toilet material. It is based on the author’s 40+ years of first-hand experience with “composting as a sanitation alternative.” The 254-page indexed book has 161 pages of color photos including 203 photos or illustrations from 13 countries where compost toilet systems are in use. The 2nd half of the book includes case study reviews of compost toilet projects in African prisons and schools; Haitian schools, orphanages, and villages; schools in Mozambique; neighborhoods in Mongolia; a school and village in Nicaragua; and an ecovillage in the US. Along with the nuts and bolts of compost toilet construction, use, and management, the book covers emergency preparedness, cold weather composting, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, health, and safety.

Our nation faces bankruptcy. Our people are divided. Our elections are riddled with corruption, confusion and mismanagement. Our Bill of Rights is under assault. The Forever Wars are never ending. Our shadow government is a criminal enterprise milking the working class of their hard-earned taxes. Just as technology, science, and medicine have advanced, so too must our government evolve to meet the needs and demands of our time. The "Constitutional Republic" envisioned by our founding fathers 250 years ago is now outdated. It was designed for a fledgling nation with the population of modern-day Toledo, Ohio. Our Constitution remains the bedrock foundation of our nation, but its application needs to be reformed to reflect the realities of today's United States. This book presents a bold vision for Direct Democracy, offering a clear path to reclaim our nation's future. Together, we can create a government that truly serves its people. We can fix it, we the people, and the time is now. "In 1776, the population of the entire United States was less than the population of Toledo, Ohio today. In 1776, without cars, electricity, internet, or advanced technology, and with such a small population, a "Constitutional Republic" made sense. It was a revolutionary leap away from the rule of Kings. It was a successful model that suited the times and it worked. But it has become obsolete. By clinging to an outdated, anachronistic mode of governing, we are creating a monster. And that monster will devour us if we don't get it under control."--Joseph Jenkins
