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

Difficult subject made easy for the layman to understand. I never realized what a disgusting pit London was during the 19th century. Filth and disease everywhere! But how we humans adapt; creating many jobs that filled the need to rid the city of its wastes. Just amazing. Equally amazing is how the two protagonists set out to understand and stop the spread of cholera that frequently decimated the city.
