( " Toilet opens the door to a profound and fascinating understanding of the way we use and are abused by public conveniences." )-(Howard S. Becker),(author of Outsiders: Studies In The Sociology Of Deviance ), ( "Peeing is political. The authors of Toilet show us how. In provocative essays from a range of perspectives, we learn what toilets (and their lack) teach us--about hierarchy, inequality, the body, aesthetics and politics. Using toilets as social and cultural prisms, they analyze global collective (in)action, outlining the deeply personal consequences for us all. This is wickedly smart, pointed and passionate public interest scholarship at its best.." )-(Lisa Duggan),(author of Twilight of Equality: Neoliberalism, Cultural Politics and the Attack on Democracy ), "From colonial times to the present, Masons have always been central to community life in America. Mark Tabbert tells their story in a fresh and arresting way. . . .

A book that weaves cutting edge gender theory into urban planning policy by way of the lowly toilet? A wondrous compendium." )-(Jane Mansbridge),(Adams Professor in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University), "Tabbert, curator of the National Heritage Museum and master of a Masonic lodge in Massachusetts, writes from the inside out, offering an interesting overview of the history of Freemasonry and its attributes." -Choice, recommended, "Tabbert, curator of the National Heritage Museum and master of a Masonic lodge in Massachusetts, writes from the inside out, offering an interesting overview of the history of Freemasonry and its attributes." - Choice , Recommended, ( "When Molotch and Norén let slip a few "pissings" or "pees," the book becomes livelier, as is befitting of the subject. And the inclusion of essays from scholars of many different disciplines--gender studies, disability rights, architecture--makes this a toilet book not to be missed." )-(Book Bench, The New Yorker Blog ),(), "This beautifully-illustrated book is the best introduction to the Masonic past now available for brothers and for curious outsiders." -Steven C.
