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

5.0

My kids knew more about Dr. John Snow than I did, so it was time to read this. We really are indebted to the people who pioneered pathology and public health. Written in 2006, at the end Johnson says something like "The virus that will affect us on an international scale hasn't been created yet." And he was not wrong. Listened via Hoopla (which is why I don't have the exact sentence!)
