Who Gives a Poop? by Heather L Montgomery
Montgomery has not created the typical nonfiction book here. It reads like a series of essays, with a conversational tone. While each chapter has the same overall focus - something we can learn from or about feces - the topics jump around. They don't build on one another at all. This makes it easier to read in fits and starts rather than all in one sitting. There's a general tone of good humor and fascination, just as much about Montgomery's own reactions as about the things we can learn. It's quite well written and looks at a lot of topics that might otherwise be overlooked. Just not a book for the especially squeamish, given some fairly enthusiastic physical descriptions of assorted scat.
