At a time when the germ theory of disease was not yet known, Snow's theory was revolutionary and laid the groundwork for modern epidemiology. In 1855, Snow published a more detailed second edition, which included his investigation of the role of the water supply in the cholera epidemic of 1854 in the Soho neighborhood of London (also available from Cosimo Classics).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Snow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646797736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646797738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"John Snow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078197276927,"sku":"9781646797738","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b926b798-f6f5-4e37-84c0-ae1b990e3ab7.jpg?v=1685474099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-mode-of-communication-john-snow-9781646797738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
