I noticed it and have written a novelised biography for 11+, which will be published a couple of days before his 200th birthday, in March 2013. Ooh, was that a plug? Sorry. There are, of course, lots of other resources detailing the life of this pioneer, including several other books and websites. Perhaps the two most extensive online sources are: The John Snow Matrix, a John Snow research companion with all the info you would ever need, kept by the author of Cholera, Chloroform and the Science of Medicine, Peter Vinten-Johansen. http://johnsnow.matrix.msu.edu/ The John Snow site at the School of Epidemiology at UCLA. http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/snow.html There, I feel better about plugging my humble work now!
