A thrilling historical account of the worst cholera outbreak in Victorian London-and a brilliant exploration of how Dr. John Snow's solution revolutionized the way we think about disease, cities, science, and the modern world. <br/><br/> From the dynamic thinker routinely compared to Malcolm Gladwell, E. O. Wilson, and James Gleick, The Ghost Map is a riveting page-turner with a real-life historical hero that brilliantly illuminates the intertwined histories of the spread of viruses, rise of cities, and the nature of scientific inquiry. These are topics that have long obsessed Steven Johnson, and The Ghost Map is a true triumph of the kind of multidisciplinary thinking for which he's become famous-a book that, like the work of Jared Diamond, presents both vivid history and a powerful and provocative explanation of what it means for the world we live in. <br/><br/> The Ghost Map takes place in the summer of 1854. A devastating cholera outbreak seizes London just as it is emerging as a modern city: more than 2 million people packed into a ten-mile circumference, a hub of travel and commerce, teeming with people from all over the world, continually pushing the limits of infrastructure that's outdated as soon as it's updated. Dr. John Snow-whose ideas about contagion had been dismissed by the scientific community-is spurred to intense action when the people in his neighborhood begin dying. With enthralling suspense, Johnson chronicles Snow's day-by-day efforts, as he risks his own life to prove how the epidemic is being spread. <br/><br/> When he creates the map that traces the pattern of outbreak back to its source, Dr. Snow didn't just solve the most pressing medical riddle of his time. He ultimately established a precedent for the way modern city-dwellers, city planners, physicians, and public officials think about the spread of disease and the development of the modern urban environment. <br/><br/> The Ghost Map is an endlessly compelling and utterly gripping account of that London summer of 1854, from the microbial level to the macrourban-theory level-including, most important, the human level.

1854年伦敦爆发严重霍乱,当时流行的观点是霍乱是通过空气传播的,而John Snow医生研究发现,霍乱是通过饮用水传播的。研究过程中,John Snow医生统计每户病亡人数,每死亡一人标注一条横线,分析发现,大多数病例的住所都围绕在Broad Street水泵附近,结合其他证据得出饮用水...

这本书本身讲的故事“平淡无奇”:1854年的夏天,伦敦爆发了霍乱。在两个人的努力之下,霍乱最终被平息。伦敦的市政建设也随之发生重大的变化。 自然,这“平淡无奇”是从两个角度说的。 一方面,就故事的内容来说,伦敦爆发的霍乱不过是世界进入现代社会之前,成千上万次流...

You wish the author would stay put in building a narrative about that one Victorian cholera outburst instead of offering upbeat lectures on urbanism cancel out by paranoid fear of terrorism.
