The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic - and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World - Paperback
In the summer of 1854, London was just emerging as one of the world's first recognized modern cities. Despite this recognition, the city lacked the infrastructure for garbage removal, clean water, and sewers - all leading to it being the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease. As the cholera outbreak took hold, a physician and local curate are spurred to action and, through their multidisciplinary thinking and expertise, are able to help solve the most pressing medical riddle of their time. This book is both a riveting history as well as a powerful explanation for how this deadly outbreak shaped the world we live in.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
