The great stink : how Joseph Bazalgette solved London's poop pollution problem

Paeff, Colleen (author.). Carpenter, Nancy (illustrator.).

Summary: "Discover the true story about the determined engineer who fixed London’s pollution problem in this nonfiction picture book. It’s the summer of 1858, and London’s River Thames STINKS. What is creating this revolting smell? The answer is gross: the river is full of poop. But the smell isn’t the worst problem. Every few years, cholera breaks out, and thousands of people die. Could there be a connection between the foul water and the deadly disease? One engineer dreams of making London a cleaner, healthier place. His name is Joseph Bazalgette. His grand plan to create a new sewer system to clean the river is an engineering marvel. And his sewers will save lives. Nothing stinky about that." -- goodreads.com
