Book your place to discuss: The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson which tells the story of the terrifying cholera epidemic that engulfed London in 1854 and the two unlikely heroes - anesthetist Doctor John Snow and affable clergyman Reverend Henry Whitehead - who defeated the disease through a combination of local knowledge, scientific research and map-making. In telling their extraordinary story Steven Johnson also explores a whole world of ideas and connections from urban terror to microbes, ecosystems to the Great Stink, cultural phenomena to street life.
