A brisk, illuminating journey through the hidden architecture of everyday life. Bad Drains invites you to see the world beneath our floors as a map of public health, craft, and human ingenuity. This concise, historically grounded technical treatise-presented here with care for today's readers-offers a clear manual on sanitation, drain testing methods, and the ventilation of sewers and fittings. It blends practical guidance with wider reflections on the origins and transmission of zymotic disease, offering both homeowner guidance and insight for public health practitioners. Its themes resonate with Victorian England's urban rise, the industrial revolution sanitation revolution, and the enduring work of keeping communities safe. A note on literary and historical significance sits beside its practical content: a window into late nineteenth-century thought that shaped our modern approach to hygiene, city planning, and public health policy. This is more than a historical text; it is a historian's tool and a writer's bridge-accessible, precise, and alive with the period's clarity and aspiration. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this book will appeal to casual readers curious about how everyday infrastructure intersects with public health, and to classic-literature collectors who value authentic artefacts of Victorian life.
