Dear Mitch, This newsletter is all about medical mapping! Great ten-minute video about London's cholera outbreak in 1854 and the impact it had on science, cities and modern society Ward Kaiser's forthcoming book includes John Snow's cholera map of deaths around the now infamous Broad Street pump. Read about both the myth, as well as the more nuanced, more layered, and less reverential, story about John Snow. Kaiser's How Maps Change Things will be released in a paperback in July, 2013   Some assert that John Snow's "Cholera Map" may be medical mapping's most famous map. Snow's 200th birthday was celebrated in London (and elsewhere) by a number of remarkable activities.    Read more about the Broad Street Pump map To learn more check out these links:   John Snow's data journalism: the cholera map that changed the world     To learn more about the work and legacy of John Snow listen to the podcast from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.   Take a tour of the Exhibition: Cartographies of Life & Death:   John Snow & Disease Mapping.   Learn more about the Broad Street Pump cholera outbreak HERE    London Walking Tour: Cholera Crusher: John Snow Anniversary Walks Read more about Snow's map (and the controversy around it) in How Maps Change Things    Stay tuned for our pre-publication special to be announced in the next 2 weeks!  Sincerely, Bob Abramms ODTmaps.com  413-549-1293
