CAMPKIN, Ben. COX, Rosie. Dirt. New geographies of cleanliness and contamination. I.B.&#160;Tauris, 2007    The authors bring together essays exploring how beliefs about dirt and cleanliness have affected the design, perception and experience of domestic, urban and rural space, in different historical and geographical contexts.
