The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic -- and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World
Author: Steven Johnson
Genres: History, Science & Math, Engineering & Transportation

reviewed A Tough Read on


The topic was fascinating: the epidemic bringing about the discovery of the cause of cholera. The book was not. I found it was repetitive and a bit of a drag. Be prepared to be grossed out by the first chapter.
