I have also noticed one mistake repeated several times in the book, which is the year date of London cholera outbreak investigated by John Snow. In chapter I, pages 10-11, it is written that the outbreak was in 1663, whereas in fact it occurred in August and September 1854.
I am not sure of this is an error or not. Chapter 6, page 217, Figure 6.9 (bottom): The captions on top don’t seem quite right. They each say “population density”. To me, “population density” is by definition a “person per unit area” measure. Yet those captions indicate the difference between the left and right images is that the left is “absolute” whereas the right is “area relative”. The only way I can make sense out of these two figure captions is by striking the word “Density” from both captions. But maybe that is wrong and I just don’t understand.
Page 99, ” A unique visual property in the target (e.g, a red hue in in Figure 3.19(a)….”
I think “in” might be repeated and “3.19(a)” should be “3.18(a)”.
Chapter 3: Page 114: Kindle Edition: Figure 3.28
The figure does not appear to not fit the caption. In my class lecture slides I show the following re-created image instead:
