This book looks at the changing technology of baths and bathrooms through the ages. It includes information that is both fascinating and humorous - such as the Roman baths big enough for 3,200 bathers, the medieval knights who wore their spurs in the bath, and the historical incidents such as Archimedes' shriek of "Eureka!"
