📱 eBook en inglés THE MAP OF DEATH

"The Map of Death – The doctor who stopped a plague with a map" recounts the birth of modern epidemiology. In 1854, a terrifying cholera outbreak struck the Soho district of London. The medical establishment believed cholera was spread by "miasma" (bad air). Dr. John Snow believed it was the water.
Author Oliver Well chronicles Snows investigation. He didnt use a microscope; he used data. He plotted every death on a map of the neighborhood. The dots clustered densely around one specific public water source: the Broad Street Pump. Snow famously convinced the council to remove the pumps handle, ending the outbreak.
"The Map of Death" is a tribute to critical thinking. It shows how one man stood against the consensus of his time, using statistics and visualization to save lives, proving that sometimes the most powerful medical tool is a pencil.
