The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic—and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson

3.0

A decent read and a good look at the story of London's Cholera outbreak and John Snows investigation into the source of the outbreak, but the writing quickly becomes very tiresome when the author drones on and on and on and seems to tray farther and farther from the topic at hand. At least 50 or 60 pages could have been cut out of this book to make it a much more concise story.
