Cacas: The Encyclopedia of Poo

Book Description

THE AUTHORITATIVE COMPENDIUM OF SHIT FROM ANTELOPE TO ZEBRA

Excrement, alley apples, manure, poo poo, number 2, crap, caca, cow pies, meadow muffins, feces, turds or merde. From the moment we're born to the moment we die, we produce it. It's as natural as breathing, but we can't bear to look at it, touch it or smell it. We produce it behind closed doors, dispose of it down clean white toilets, and never mention it in polite company. It's one of "civilized" society's last taboos. Enough! It's the world's most underrated product - in fact it's the Gross National Product of every country on earth. We can cook with it, garden with it, build with it, create controversial art with it, admire it and wear it. Each example is as unique as a snowflake and it's the ultimate renewable resource. It's time to celebrate shit!

All kidding aside, CACAS is a fascinating look at the incredible range of color, texture, size and shape of animal output from tiny cricket poop, and impressively spherical camel output to seriously gnarly llama droppings and, of course, human excreta. CACAS also expounds on related topics such as potty-training, bathroom-sharing etiquette, hemorrhoids, astronaut elimination protocol, toilet paper, synthetic poo for diaper-testing, enemas, and the vast number of things that can be done with shit if you are both tolerant and creative. At first this may sound gross, but it's actually really engrossing. We urge you to give poos a chance!

CACAS, the first ever encyclopedia of poo, is a project of COLORS magazine under the creative direction of Oliviero Toscani. COLORS has published bimonthly since 1992 in 80 countries worldwide, in 8 bilingual editions: English paired with Italian, Japanese, Croatian, German, Spanish, Greek, Russian and French. As is the case with every issue of COLORS, this book explores a single theme and exists thanks to United Colors of Benetton.

Vile bile.......2004-03-19

This is certainly a coffee table book that will break the ice and get people talking, but perhaps not the best thing to read while eating chocolate bon-bons, fudge, or dark stew.

While it calls itself an encyclopedia, this is far from accurate. My high rating is for the superb studio photography and detail for each sample... but it loses a couple of stars on a number of fronts. The only readers of this book will be people, but people poo is hardly covered in detail. Why not a number of shots of different colors, shapes and sizes, describing what causes the various colors in each sample?

Then, on common pets such as cats and dogs, why not a variety there, to help diagnose illness?

It would seem that the authors could not decide whether this would be a commentary, a compendium or a comedy. The "s-word" and other colorful metaphors are used profusely for the sake of shock value, rather than for informative purposes. It's shocking to see such a nicely prepared volume with what appears to be such unprofessional language. It's not funny enough to be funny and not serious enough to be taken seriously.

It is interesting to see droppings from giraffes, monkeys, etc., but some of the animals mentioned are animals I have never heard of - and no picture of the animal itself is displayed.

This unusually themed book had a lot more potential than was reached by the authors. This is NOT a book for children, due to the comments in the book, but for kids who can't read, it might be a hoot at story time.

For the aspiring yet-to-be-published writer, this will certainly be an inspiration - if this poo can be published, than the world is your oyster.

Pooptacular!.......2002-12-24

I study poop , or should I say fecies, for a living. This book has accurate pictorials and descriptions of the different kinds of fecies that we excrete from our system. A remarkable book indeed and a great one for children to get aquainted with on rainy, muddy days.

Covers it all........2002-10-07

Everything you ever wanted NOT to know. Actually not quite true because it is rather thin on the medical side of poo (illnesses and hospitals etc) and maybe that's a good thing too. Produced by the folks from `Colors' magazine (The United Colors of Benetton) this nicely designed book is full of one paragraph items, written in a straightforward style and thankfully avoiding any euphemisms. The editors must have wondered how on earth they were going to illustrate it? The neat solution was to get photographer Marirosa Ballo to train his lens on sixty-seven samples of animal droppings, reproduced here as cut-outs on the white page, nicely done too. Needless to say they vary enormously depending on the animals diet and lifestyle.

This quirky title is another addition to my (slowly) expanding shelf of bizarre books, it already has `A Handbook on Hanging' by Charles Duff (London 1928) `Frog Raising for Pleasure and Profit' by Albert Broel (New Orleans 1937) and `Car Crashes' by Mell Kilpatrick (Koln 2000) this last book is from the same publisher as 'Cacas'.

I love Cacas!.......2001-12-31

When I received this book as part of a Christmas gift, I had to wonder what the sender was trying to say to me. It was all in fun though. I didn't take the book very seriously at first, but as I read through the pages (after of course just looking at all of the pictures) I realized there was much about caca that I didn't know. The photography is very detailed and it is well-written and informative.

a poo fan's bible.......2001-08-02

for the everyday man having a poo is not something to be proud of. thank the holy log that some of us are different, we treat our turds like family, better than family.

this is the type of person this excellent book is for. featuring poos from around the world, different types and aromas it is the casual toilet user's bible.

Dont bother bringing it to the dinner table though......

Book Description

This is the story of how three men won the Nobel Prize for their research on the humble nematode worm C. elegans; how their extraordinary discovery led to the sequencing of the human genome; how a global multibillion-dollar industry was born; and how the mysteries of life were revealed in a tiny, brainless worm.

In 1998 the nematode worm -- perhaps the most intensively studied animal on earth -- was the first multicellular organism ever to have its genome sequenced and its DNA mapped and read. "When we understand the worm, we will understand life," predicted John Sulston, one of the three Nobel laureates, and his prediction proved astonishingly accurate. Four years later, the research that led to this extraordinary event garnered three scientists a Nobel Prize. Along with Robert Horvitz and Sydney Brenner, Sulston discovered the phenomenon of programmed cell death in the worm, an essential concept that explains how biological development occurs in animal life and, as Horvitz later showed, how it occurs in human life. C. elegans is about as simple as an animal can be, but understanding its genetic organization is helping to reveal the mechanisms of life and, by extension, the mechanisms of our own lives. In the Beginning Was the Worm shows that in order to unlock the secrets of the human genome we must first understand the worm.

But this story is about more than just the worm. It is about how an eccentric group of impassioned scientists toiled in near anonymity for years, driven only by a deep passion for knowledge and scientific discovery. It is the story of countless hours of research, immense ambition, and one of the greatest discoveries in human history.

Genetics from Small Beginnings.......2006-11-22

Why do we grow old and die? Amazingly, after more than forty years of research, we still don't know the answers. This book charts the history of one branch of investigation into this thorny problem and does it with verve, style, and wit. In addition it is written with an admirable clarity that will enable non-specialists to grasp not only what was going on during the 30 years people have been studying c. elegans but also why it matters.

The main omission of the book concerns the fact that unlike complex eukaryotes such as reptiles and mammals our small wormy friend does not undergo cell division. Therefore cell-division-related loss-of-information theories about senescence clearly cannot explain why c. elegans lasts less than a month even under ideal conditions. In principle the fact that this non-dividing cellular system actually does grow old and die should teach us something very important about the mechanisms of aging, but alas we are little closer to understanding why these tiny creatures age than we were when the whole enterprise started with Brenner's initial investigations. It would presumably be very illuminating to contrast the all-too-mortal worm with immortal cancer cell lines; somewhere in there are surely the clues we need to get a better understanding of what it means to age.

But this book is a nice primer on the basic issues involved in the study of aging and as such is a welcome addition to the bookshelf.

Little critters with big secrets.......2006-09-23

The revelations about life promised when the structure of DNA was deduced weren't immediately obvious. In fact, the more investigations proceeded, it was obvious that intense study and analysis would be needed. The inheritance of traits, both physical and behavioural, is a difficult mesh to unravel. Research on single-celled organisms, like E. coli, offered only part of the answers. Even the long years of work with fruit flies only hinted at how genes made bodies and habits. An intermediate creature was needed in order to map out how the DNA did its job. That creature was the humble nematode, about as long as your fingernail is thick. In this highly informative book, Andrew Brown traces the years of study undertaken by scientists and technicians to cut away some of the unknowns to derive answers.

"Cut away" is suggestive. The earliest work required understanding how the worm was assembled by its genes. That effort entailed slicing the worm in bits to map all the interconnections. For a creature made of less than a thousand cells, its body proved anything but simple. One researcher spent three decades studying the vulva of this hermaphrodite. Another, a technician, learned the finesse required to section the nerves in order that the pathways the wires followed could be tracked. No end of complexity was revealed and some of it remains mysterious today. Brown credits childhood habits that contributed to the talents these researchers applied to worm analysis. The "nerve-cutter" did jigsaw puzzles, while another was one of those kids constantly taking things apart - and reassembling them - when he was young. In sharp contrast to today's research environment, Brown notes, these individuals remained individuals, untrammeled by bureaucracy and often working with little or no supervision or even contact with their colleagues. Their own dedication kept them at their tasks for extended periods - and usually extended hours.

Why go to such extreme lengths to examine such a minuscule creature? It was due to Sydney Brenner. Brenner, the son of an illiterate, entered university at age fourteen. When he graduated, Brown notes, Brenner remained too young for legal employment in a university. Research, however, was an open and inviting path. After casting about for the right creature, in the early 1960s he settled on "Caenorhabditis elegans" [say it to yourself quickly!] for detailed study. It was Brenner's vision that the information gleaned would lead to further insights into development and nervous systems - body building and behaviour. Although little was said of it at the time, the techniques would lead to how human behaviour roots would also be revealed.

After describing the details of the progress of the "C. elegans" research, Brown describes the growing interest in launching the Human Genome Project. Although nobody proposed slicing up humans to find out what made them tick, other methods were already being developed. Even mapping the simple worm had proven such a tedious task that when computers entered biology laboratories, Brenner and others made quick use of them. The merging of biology and research led to "the algorithm of the worm". Computer images made the mapping process easier for analysis. Databases of the generations of mutations led to better identification of which genes produced the changes. Although even today, some of these mutations remain to be tracked with detail or assurance. The worm, like much of life, retains mysteries demanding more work.

It was these computer methods that made the study of the human genome feasible. Various techniques arose to map the genome, some of them, such as Craig Venter's "skipping over" method, brought the picture of the human genome closer, if incomplete. They also led to the dispute over patenting genes. Brown notes how Brenner was an early dissenter against this practice. His objections led to a Britain versus the US dichotomy about where gene research should lead. There remains dispute over why Brenner was such a strenuous opponent. Whatever else the study of the little worm brought to biology, there is no doubt its rewards are highly significant. If nothing else, the awarding of three Nobel Prizes must be counted as great.

Brown's effort in researching this book, from delving into the literature to extensive interviews with the surviving participants, makes it worthwhile. There are several personal accounts of the time, which Brown fully acknowledges. He cites frequently the "Worm-Breeder's Gazette" which proved to be a unifying information exchange among the scattered scholars that emerged from the original studies. The "Gazette" tied together not only distant researchers, but the work of those who closely studied small aspects and had no other means of learning who was doing what in other laboratories. Brown's only shortcoming here is a rather patchy prose style. He also engages in some unnecessary repetition, giving the chapters the effect of a set of loosely-tied essays. A good Index - which this book thankfully contains - should have eliminated this approach. The other flaw, far more serious, is the total lack of graphic material. Photographs and diagrams would have made this book peerless. "In the Beginning" is a valuable book, but could have been first class with a bit more effort. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

Worms and Heroes.......2004-10-21

I have been following (from afar) the C. Elegans story for about thirty years. Once I was even motivated enough to try to isolate the worm from some soil so I could play around with it for myself. The attempt failed--I don't know why--but I never lost my vicarious interest in it. This is the first book that I've read that covers the story in a "behind the scenes" way, and I was glad to see it published.

The worm now, is of course, one of the best understood multicellular organisms in all of biology. How it came to be a model organism rivaling the mouse, the fruit fly, and man is an interesting lesson in how science at its best really works. It was a man, Sydney Brenner, with a plan to pick just the right organism that could be used to attack some of the fundamental questions of genetics, development and embryogenesis. The selection of this organism took several years of hard work. It is remarkable that during this start-up of the project, the funding organization, the MRC, supported the work without complaint, even though it was something like five years before publications began to roll out.

The book is written for a general audience, though there is lots here of interest to those who are more acquainted with biology too. The politics and personalities of the effort, now almost fifty years on, are covered in quite a bit of depth and some of it is pretty entertaining. The technical aspects of the research is also explained in enough detail that the reader can follow it pretty easily, though there are a few challenging rough spots too.

This is quite a tale of heroic science getting done with a conviction that unselfish, cooperative, non-commercial, basic research is not only worthwhile, but can be a lot of fun. And these guys clearly had a lot of fun. I think that one of the main reasons, pointed out by the author, was that the researchers were crammed in together with perhaps only a meter of bench space, and often not even a desk, had a lot to do with it. No closed doors, no power point, and no email probably had a lot to do with it too.

The book could have been better organized--the jumping around in time (what decade was this?) sometimes was bothersome to me. The portraits of the scientists were nice to see, but I'd have appreciated some drawings of the worm too. Pictures of the laboratory would have been instructive, I think.

Brown has done a quite respectable job with this book, and I think it is quite worth reading if you have any interest at all in biology or the history of science. The effort described will serve to confound the deconstructionists, mystics and other quacks of the academy for a long time to come.

Explaining Life at the Molecular Level.......2004-06-29

_Caenorhabditis elegans_, happily better known as _C. elegans_ and affectionately known by the researchers who study it as "the worm," would not seem to have potential for being the focus of groundbreaking biological studies. It is only a half a millimeter long, for instance, and is a lowly nematode, living on bacteria and slime mold in temperate regions all around the world. It does, however, display rapid growth and production of subsequent generations, which made it perfect for genetic studies, and transparency, which made it perfect for microscopic analysis. But even the original researchers on the worm would have been surprised at all the work that has been done in the last forty years. _C. elegans_ is now "the most completely understood animal in history." That assessment comes in _In the Beginning Was the Worm: Finding the Secrets of Life in a Tiny Hermaphrodite_ (Columbia University Press) by Andrew Brown. In fact, the worm looms even larger in biological research; work on its genetic map grew directly into the human genome mapping project. So its story is worth telling, and Brown, a science journalist, has told it largely through descriptions of the personalities and work of the main researchers. There is little technical detail here about the worm itself, but much interesting history about how the researchers came to understand it so well.

Chief of the characters is Sydney Brenner, who designated the worm as a fit source of research in the mid-1960s. Not everyone thought that the worm was the way to go, or even that trying to understand it at the molecular level was a promising avenue of research. There was more glamorous work and ostensibly more productive work going on researching fruit flies, for instance, but Brenner's team showed astonishing dedication. Almost everyone who worked in the lab came away happy, and Brenner and his main colleagues came away with Nobels. One of the most pleasing aspects of the research was how public it was. The researchers were in favor of free trade in ideas within the team, of course, but there was a high streak of idealism in sharing results with the outside world. They truly believed that the unfettered exercise of their talents was for the benefit of humanity. They insisted that sharing results (rather than, say, copyrighting or licensing them) meant it was more likely that someone would latch on to something interesting which needed further work. No one owned the genetic map they produced, and it was from the beginning available to all takers (although it is now much more accessible since biologists can log into it on the web). It is not just that free release is generous and right, but it works. John Sulston, one of the Nobel winners, said, "It was not a theoretical concept, it was a pragmatic way of moving forward."

The importance of the worm in all subsequent genetic research cannot be overstated, and so this is a welcome volume to recount how the worm got to be so well understood. There have been distinct effects on the research on humans themselves. Vertebrates like humans are not descended from nematodes, but we are distant cousins with an ancient common ancestor which eight hundred million years ago solved the problems of living as a multicellular organism, and every animal ever since has inherited those solutions. In a real sense, looking at the worm is a way of looking at ourselves, with all the potential for practical knowledge that this brings. But Brown's book is an inspirational story about researchers who gambled all on the detailed understanding of a humble worm not for practicality, or for riches, but for the sake of knowledge alone.

Book Description

William Godwin's memoir of his wife, Mary Wollstonecraft, marks a transition in Godwin's philosophical development from extreme rationalism to the recognition of the moral importance of feeling and sympathy which was to energize his later writings. The Memoirs also belong to a tradition of biographical writing that sought to transform the consciousness of readers by using individual history as an agent of historical change. Written during the weeks following Wollstonecraft's early death, the Memoirs provide an interpretation of the relations between Wollstonecraft's writings and her personal history, a candid account of her various relationships, and a vindication of her egalitarian intimacy with Godwin. This modern, scholarly edition, geared for student use, includes a wide range of primary sources, encompassing excerpts from Godwin's other writings and from biographical models.

Book Description

This book represents for the first time The Wrongs of Woman; or Maria and Memoirs of the Author of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" have been published in the same volume, but their history and reception have been inextricably linked since the publication of both in January 1798, less than five months after Mary Wollstonecraft's tragic early death. Designed as the fictional embodiment of Wollstonecraft's notions against patriarchy and for the rational and emotional independence of women, The Wrongs of Women tells the story of Maria, who makes a disastrous marriage and then must undergo confinement in a madhouse for her rebellion against it. Godwin's Memoirs of the Author of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" honored Wollstonecraft's memory with a frank and detailed account of her life and death, but instead of the profound admiration he hoped to invoke, most contemporary readers felt shock at Wollstonecraft's sexual freedom and an odd mix of pity and wonder at Godwin's willingness to share such details of his wife's life with the world. The College Publishing edition includes an erudite and accessible introduction detailing the changing critical fortunes of both works, and in order to gain an appreciation for the rich cultural contexts of these texts, a selection of contemporary reviews appears in the appendix. In addition, Wollstonecraft and Godwin's other works and, uniquely, Gilbert Imlay's novel The Emigrants, are judiciously excerpted. Short essays throughout the text provide critical background material on such subjects as maternal breastfeeding, Gilbert Imlay, employment opportunities for lower-and middle-class women, marriage laws, and childbirth in the eighteenth century.

excellent edition of this work.......2004-12-08

This is a classroom edition of two works important to people interested in early debates on women's rights, the history of intellectual ideas, and late 18th/early 19th century British fiction. Both _Wrongs of Woman_ and _Memoirs of the Author_ slightly predate most of Jane Austen's publication dates and are at the beginning of British Romantic literature. The books may be an acquired taste, more often read as class assignments than for fun, but really both are interesting for the common reader too. This edition is particularly good, highlighting a number of important issues-- including debates about breastfeeding in this period, the dangers of maternity and childbirth, and the limitations that women of the period faced. Austen doesn't tell you all of this in her novels, but Wollstonecraft's novel does, and Godwin's _Memoir_ of her tells in horrifying detail how she died from an infection probably due to using a male midwife (early obstetrician). Really, the editor's notes and details are the best that I've seen for readers who are not scholarly specialists--they are clear, helpful, and pertinent. ...And this isn't because I happen to know the editor and have an edition w/ the same series.
