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

Basically the first 70% was about poop and victorian era science trying to catch up on why sanitary water is good. Then the rest was about urban density, pandemics, and viral evolution, which was interesting given our current situation regarding covid quarantine. Overall, a great read. It made me sad Dr Snow never got to see his cholera work really excepted.
Anyway, this book was a perfect blend of historical review and storytelling. It was informative, enjoyable, and makes me think twice about the fact that my well failed all our coliform testing, yet we still drink it every day.
