The countryside was not the health paradise city dwellers imagined, and Henry Ogden set out to prove it. His textbook applies sanitary engineering to the farm and village: water, sewage, milk and the diseases that lurk in rural life. A thorough record of early rural public health from a Cornell engineer. See how science was brought to the well and the barnyard.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
