Traveling through history, this book takes a look at how bathrooms came to be and who used them. Beginning in the Stone Ages, humans went to the bathroom wherever they were. The Ancient World enjoyed bathing and would use the bathroom either in public or privately if they were royal. Along with the fall of Rome, the idea of being clean came to and end. During the Middle Ages in Europe, people thought it wasn't good to bathe. People would go months without taking a bath. During the Renaissance, bathing was still frowned upon in Europe. Queen Isabella stated she had only had a bath when she was born and on her wedding day. Doctors even thought healthy people should not take baths. In the New World, the settlers brought European customs with them. Upon discovering germs in the middle 1800s, cities began piping in clean water and building sewers. Eventually indoor plumbing became a necessity for every household. This book could be used in a lesson about inventions or discoveries. It could also be used in a World History lesson. ( )
