The Ghost Map

Just started reading Steven Johnson’s The Ghost Map.  A timely read about the story of a of a cholera outbreak in 1854, within London 1854.  It’s also about ideas for treating disease — ideas that we take for granted.  Many people highly recommend this book. With discussion about swine flu and renewed concern about pandemic disease, I figured it was time to read it.  Here’s a cool introduction to The Ghost Map:

Hope you read the book.  If so, maybe we can start a discussion group.  (After a quick read, you might be cautious about public water supplies, but I think we’re okay.) Wash your hands often and stay well.
