The Ghost Map was about the 1854 cholera outbreak in London. The book describes, in depth, how cholera spread throughout the city, and what was done to change it. This particular outbreak originated from one single pump. As the book goes through the tale as to how the cure was found, it also highlights the ways in which cholera has changed society. New mapping technologies, health regulations and purification systems were created from this disease. The book is very interesting and gives an insight of the disease, its affects and the outcome. Not only was this London's most terrifying epidemic, but it changed science, cities and the modern world.
