The Invisible Killer London, 1854. A silent, terrifying plague is sweeping through the city, striking down thousands. The world's leading doctors have a diagnosis: a "miasma," a foul vapor carried on the air. But one man dares to ask a different question. He is Dr. John Snow, a respected anesthetist with a knack for data. While his peers focus on the air, he turns his attention to the ground, meticulously mapping every death, every household, and every water pump. His investigation leads him to a single, shocking conclusion that challenges everything the medical establishment believes. The Man Who Tamed the Invisible Killeris the gripping true story of the man who revolutionized medicine by solving the mystery of cholera. It is a tale of scientific courage, intellectual rebellion, and the enduring power of a single idea that changed the world forever.
