Citizens Read: The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson

Ghost Map
Date: 
February 22, 2010 - 6:00pm - 7:30pm

The Gerding Theater, 128 NW Eleventh Avenue, Portland, OR 97209

With Guest Speaker Molly Franks, MPH, Health Educator in the STD/HIV & Hepatitis C Program at the Multnomah County Health Department

In conjunction with The Multnomah County Library and OMSI, Citizens Read will be reading The Ghost Map. The book, set in the 1854 cholera epidemic in Victorian London, tells the story of the innovative and brilliant scientist Dr. John Snow, who risked his life to create a map that demonstrated how cholera spread. With the creation of this map, he proved his theories about contagious diseases and changed the way physicians and public health officials thought about and dealt with the spread of diseases and epidemics. This book is not only highly relevant (think H1N1), but an immensely good read.
