"History, biology, anthropology, culture, animal behaviorall of these are the real subjects of Merde. Why can some animals do it on the run, and others can't? Why does camel dung make good fires? What are the fascinating stories of the dung beetles?"--BOOK JACKET. "Myths and legends, physical features, health and disease, uses for construction and as fertilizers - even nutritional values! - Ralph Lewin writes about them all in the most ingratiating and sophisticated and yet scientific way. Merde is also full of personal adventures and observations, as well as anecdotes and examples."--BOOK JACKET.
