9781105762437 - After You Flush the Toilet: Understanding Where Water Goes and Why It Matters For Kids di Strale, Evan (11 risultati)

Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. You flush the toilet and everything disappears. Simple, right? But that moment sets off an incredible journey-one that twists through hidden pipes, underground tunnels, massive treatment plants, and natural systems that quietly protect human health every single day. This book pulls back the floorboards and takes readers into the unseen world beneath homes, streets, and cities. It follows water and waste from the instant a handle is pushed, through neighborhood plumbing, deep sewer systems, and enormous facilities where science, engineering, and biology work together in ways most people never imagine. Along the way, readers discover how gravity, air pressure, and clever design keep pipes flowing, how trillions of microscopic organisms clean filthy water, and how something once dangerous is transformed into something safe enough to return to rivers and lakes. The story doesn't stop there. It explores what happens to the leftover solids, how waste can become energy or fertilizer, and why clean water is one of the most important inventions in human history. Readers will learn how cities used to smell, why diseases once spread so easily, and how modern sanitation changed life expectancy around the world. They'll also see how septic systems work, how other countries handle sanitation differently, and why billions of people still lack safe ways to manage waste today. Written in a clear, engaging voice, this book turns an everyday habit into a fascinating story about science, history, and the invisible systems that keep modern life running smoothly. It invites curiosity, builds understanding, and leaves readers seeing the world-and every flush-very differently. This item is printed on demand.
