Kako je "zemljevid duhov" pripomogel k uničenju smrtno nevarne bolezni

Avtor Steven Johnson nas odpelje na desetminutni ogled Zemljevida duhov, svoje knjige o izbruhu kolere leta 1854 v Londonu in učinek, ki ga je ta imel na znanost, mesta in moderno družbo.

A devastating cholera outbreak in 1854 London killed 10 percent of a neighborhood in just seven days, exposing deadly flaws in the city’s infrastructure and public health thinking. Authorities blamed foul smells for the spread, missing the true culprit: contaminated water. By mapping deaths around a single water pump, a bold observer revealed the real cause, paving the way for lifesaving reforms. This breakthrough made modern urban life possible and showed how good ideas can overturn dangerous misconceptions.
