Summary "History of Sanitation" by J. J. Cosgrove is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolution of sanitation practices from primitive societies to more sophisticated systems, focusing on the engineering and social aspects of water supply and sewage disposal. The book aims to shed light on how societies have grappled with the challenges of sanitation over the centuries. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the primitive sanitation practices of early humans, emphasizing their rudimentary approaches to water sourcing and waste disposal. He notes the crucial role of wells, aqueducts, and cisterns, referencing biblical accounts and ancient civilizations to illustrate the historical significance of these systems. The opening portion serves to set the stage for an in-depth examination of sanitation's evolution as civilization progressed, leading into subsequent chapters that delve further into engineering advancements and cultural attitudes toward hygiene throughout history.
