There are so many fantastic authors appearing at Book ‘Em in Waynesboro, Virginia, this Saturday, October 16th. Here are a few and their speaking topics:

And, I must admit I am fascinated in the following event:

Sarah Albee

The Scoop on Poop

Children’s author Sarah Albee talks about her book POOP HAPPENED! A HISTORY OF THE WORLD FROM THE BOTTOM UP, and takes kids and adults on a tour through the history of toilets and sanitation, from Biblical times to present-day. She’ll discuss what people wore, poop-related diseases, how knights went to the bathroom, how astronauts go to the bathroom, and how societies have had to confront the vexing problem of how to deal with their “waste.” For kids and adults, 8 and up.

I also have to admit that while filming Yucatan Travel, I had to shoot footage of the many gorgeous bathrooms we encountered, many of them with beautiful colorful ceramic sinks and ceramic tile work decorating the walls. Lovely!

And, of course, I’ll be speaking on 2012 and the End of the World, at 1:00 p.m. in the Auditorium.
