A National Bestseller, a New York Times Notable Book, and an Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Year It's the summer of 1854, and London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure-garbage removal, clean water, sewers-necessary to support its rapidly expanding population, the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease no one knows how to cure. As the cholera outbreak takes hold, a physician and a local curate are spurred to action-and ultimately solve the most pressing medical riddle of their time. In a triumph of multidisciplinary thinking, Johnson illuminates the intertwined histories of the spread of disease, the rise of cities, and the nature of scientific inquiry, offering both a riveting history and a powerful explanation of how it has shaped the world we live in.

教授推荐的书，的确值得一读，读完有些抑郁，感到了科学发展的艰辛与人类的愚昧天性 结尾那里，那间酒吧的名字太情怀了…教授还把这个出成了quiz的题目……

作者废话略多，对超级城市的乐观不敢苟同，其他一切都好。一个在统计学，公共卫生和社会学三个学科诞生之前的跨学科研究。
