Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants by Carol Steinfeld and Illustrated by Malcolm Wells (2007)
Nitrogen pollution of lakes, rivers and oceans by human urine is a growing
problem. Liquid Gold shows how urine can safely be used to grow food, fuel,
fiber and
beautiful landscapes while protecting the environment and providing free
and safe fertilizer. Featuring a short history of urine use -- from ritual
to medicinal
and even culinary -- and many whimsical illustrations, this great bathroom
reader is an ideal gift for irreverent gardeners, homeowners, campers,
environmentalists
and anyone who urinates.
