      This volume examines areas that made life unhygienic, difficult, and often risky during the Colonial period, including inadequate housing, moldy food, lack of plumbing, deadly diseases such as small pox, and poor personal hygiene. Sidebars extend the text with word definitions and additional "Gross Facts." Illustrations add interest and heighten the "grossness," but the splatter- and stain-like graphics are a bit much. Reading list. Glos., ind.
