Steven Johnson giving a brief talk on John Snow’s map

Steven Johnson, author of The Ghost Map, gave a 10 minute talk at TED on the 1854 cholera outbreak in London.

Steven Johnson’s take on the outbreak is an amazing read. If you have just a passing interest in geography or disease control, you’ll enjoy this book.
