Pipe Dreams: The Urgent Global Quest to Transform the Toilet

byChelsea Wald

Most of us do not give much thought to the centerpiece of our bathrooms, but the toilet is an unexpected paradox. Pipe Dreams combines scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of science and social science, Pipe Dreams explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the urgent global quest to transform the toilet emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
