This entertaining graphic novel from award winner Dan Brown will get kids talking, since it's all about the history of dealing with poop, pee, and dirty hands.Part of the Big Ideas That Changed the World graphic novel series, this full-color book is appropriate for the classroom and includes a timeline, endnotes, and a bibliography.In 1895, an engineer named George Waring was appointed New York City’s first commissioner of street cleaning. His task? To make a city with millions of people livable.Narrated by Waring, Keep It Clean! explores the concept of public health, which means ensuring clean water and adequate sewage disposal for everyone, and covers topics such as personal hygiene, sewer systems, and chemical water treatment.Acclaimed author-illustrator Don Brown takes readers on a journey through history and around the world, from Greek, Roman, and Aztec aqueducts and the dawn of bathing (including social public bathing in Japan and religious bathing ceremonies in Machu Picchu) to the invention of soap in the Middle East, the first use of flush toilets approximately 4,000 years ago, and the first toilets used in outer space—a Big Idea when you consider that early astronauts on Apollo 11 had none!Full of facts and colorful historical figures, Brown chronicles both historical mishaps—like rivers full of human waste and King Henry VI’s notorious basement of poop—and monumental scientific breakthroughs including Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch’s discovery of the link between microbes (germs) and disease.Brown also highlights how social classes became divided not only by wealth and culture but also by smell, and calls attention to modern-day health crises.Today, nearly two billion people around the world live without clean water and about 3.6 billion people—nearly half of the world’s population—live without proper sanitation. Breaking down concepts in an accessible, kid-friendly way, this nonfiction graphic novel shows why “keeping it clean” is vitally important whether it’s a city, town, home, or person.Big Ideas That Changed the World is a graphic novel series that celebrates the hard-won succession of ideas that ultimately changed the world. Humor, drama, and art unite to tell the story of events, discoveries, and ingenuity over time that led humans to come up with a big idea and then make it come true.More from the Big Ideas That Changed the World series:Rocket to the Moon!

Excellent Wireless Mouse with Great Performance
Size: Standard
The Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed is an outstanding gaming mouse. The wireless connection is fast and reliable with no noticeable lag, and the mechanical switches feel crisp and responsive. It’s comfortable to hold even during long sessions, and the customizable buttons add a lot of flexibility for both gaming and productivity. Battery life is impressive, and overall it delivers great performance for the price.

Great mid range mouse option
Size: Standard
My previous mice include the Razer Deathadder V2, Razer Basilisk V2 X Hyperspeed, and the Logitech Pro X Superlight. This is easily the most comfortable mouse I've used, the contours feel perfect and the extra button the side is well placed and feels like a natural addition. I've personally not found the weight an issue, though it is much heavier that most other mice, even ones that use a AA battery. I do prefer the external battery as I disliked having to plug in my mouse every so often to charge it, something that became much more frequent as the internal battery lost capacity. The new switches feel excellent, a noticeable improvement from the V2. Performance is good in all areas with the exception of the scroll wheel, which feels like it eats inputs for breakfast lunch and dinner. Basically when scrolling fast the Basilisk V3 seems to skip inputs. My V2 had similar issues and eventually I had to replace it when the scroll wheel started acting haywire and scrolling on its own or backwards. Something to keep an eye on. Appearance is unremarkable. The new RGB scroll wheel is appreciated, but fairly simple in customization. I have it set to static color but you can have it be reactive to clicking, color cycle, breathing, or a few other options with Razer Synapse. One small quirk is that if you have auto sleep on, it takes a bit to actually turn back on when using it again. Whereas the Razer Deathadder V2 was near instant in my experience, the Basilisk V3 takes a few seconds to get going, which sounds like nothing but does make a difference when it happens so often. TL;DR - It's a really good mouse at this price point, good performance and great comfort. Only negative is the scroll wheel and the weight if that matters to you.

Not as good as a 3S, but less expensive. Hopefully better quality switches than the 3S.
Size: Standard
I like this mouse, but it could be better. I purchased it to replace a Logitech MX-Master 3S, which is a great mouse except the microswitch for the left button stopped being reliable after less than three years. While that's a reasonable life for some users, perhaps, it seemed inadequate to me. My use case is general pc use for searching the web, writing emails, and managing finances. The Logitech wasn't used every day. The 3S has a higher palm hump, which the Basilisk lacks and I really prefer. The Basilisk is similar in overall size to the 3S, so for the most part it fits my hand sufficiently well. Hump size is the main downside to the Basilisk. That, plus the battery is not rechargeable. What, in 2026?! But I've adapted to it, and battery life so far has been very good. It has the combo BT + 2.4 gHz connectivity with a dongle. Both choices work very well and reliably. I like the center wheel size and action a lot. I like the slip pads on the bottom of the mouse. It has a very handy and perfectly responsive third thumb button that I don't currently use but gamers may find it useful. Only time will tell if Razer's microswitch quality is more durable, reliable, and longer lived than the crap switches Logitech put into the otherwise very good 3S. I have used the Basilisk about two months at the time of this review.

Responsive and versatile
Size: Standard
Great mouse. Love that I can change the cursor speed with the middle button. Very light. It does burn through battery pretty quick, but it only takes one AA battery and others I've used have needed 2. Is very responsive.

Very good quality, good stability, it feels great to the touch, very nice color, not to much light at night. He works in an Alienware, and the connection was really easy.
