Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of a detailed meteorological investigation of London and its surrounding areas during the 19th century cholera epidemic. The author examines the idea that the city's atmosphere played a role in the spread and severity of the disease. The author traces the successive maxima and minima readings of the barometer, mean daily temperature of the air, temperature of the River Thames water, force of the wind, and other related measurements from July to December of 1854. In doing so, the author gives great historical context to the state of meteorology in the mid-19th century, particularly in the area of epidemiology, and discusses broader social and class-based trends as they relate to public health and quality of life in the major metropolis.
