Review
A quick and engaging examination of the Soho cholera outbreak of 1854, and how these events impacted urban living and planning, public health policy, science and culture. The effects can be seen even today, and the very same questions and issues are raised due to the explosive growth of squatter cities throughout the world. Now I have to go back and read Dickens' <i>Bleak House</i>.Recent actions
