    Creative and fast read
  

*by E***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022*

My husbands loved this book… he’s usually a fast reader anyways but he really enjoyed this book. He was laughing at the creative cartoons that kept him engaged. Thanks for the insights in this book… I don’t think I’ll be indulging in any of them but go growing plants… I’m here for it

    A Fun Book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017*

A fun book. The author is a real character!  She seems utterly convinced that urine is the key to the future and refers to it simply as "liquid gold" throughout the book.  She makes statements about how it's use "will" be implemented in the future without a thought to the possibility that it might not be the case.  She explains how urine contains nutrients that plants can use and talks about how to use it in compost or spray crops with it.  She also just breifly mentions how it stinks and explains that if it's sealed off from air then you won't smell it but offers no explanation of how to achieve such a storage situation.  She also mentions that it contains a lot of salt and after a few years of use the salts will build up and prevent your crops from growing or even being able to sprout, but once again little was said to remedy this except that there are types of plants that can uptake salts and then be removed but she provides no information about how effective this actually is.  An interesting book and I'm glad I read it, but after reading this book I am actually more skeptical about the practicality of using urine as fertilizer than I was before.

    Interesting, Just what the subtitle says
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2009*

Though I had heard of this book years ago, I finally got a copy of it just a few days ago.I think I was expecting "more" - but then again - I had just finished reading "The Humanure Handbook" by Joseph Jenkins, and was expecting a similar treatment of the subject.Steinfeld makes all the right points and does so in an interesting manner, but her method is more one of presenting possibilities than one of presenting a plan. It seems as though she is "reporting" - showing us pictures and descriptions of how folks have used urine. She doesn't seem to have a "passion" for the subject - something that people who do things radically different from others generally need to see the project through. Steinfeld is also diametrically opposed to Jenkins on best methods: She suggests separating and using the urine separately while "disposing" of the solid waste material by conventional methods. Jenkins is quite adamant about collecting and using liquids and solids together and recycling them both - a much more ecological and economically-sensible suggestion.(I'd LOVE to see these two authors review each others books!)I would still recommend this book for folks with a couple of *extra* dollars to spend or those just interested in learning how people past and present use urine. For those interested in shouldering the greater responsibility of properly, safely, and beneficially recycling their ALL of their "waste" I would suggest "The Humanure Handbook" instead.In all fairness and to Steinfeld's credit, "The lore and logic of using urine to grow plants" is an accurate description of this book's scope.
