I liked this book, the information and history that was in it was really interesting and at sometimes disturbing. Disturbing because of the attitudes and arrogance of those in power not wanting to learn something new or believe something new. That would have drove me nuts. The way the neighborhoods were linked and the water sources made for a real who did it. Lots of info but moved along at a pretty good pace. I liked it.
