A very interesting book about topology an graphs and networks. Ellenberg is a top-notch explainer. A significant portion of the book is about pandemics and spread of infection or anything else. I was interested in Sir Ross of malaria fame and his mathematical explanation of the mosquito's random flight presaging the famous Drunkard's Walk. His mathematical adviser was Hilda Hudson, an excellent mathematician and devout evangelical Christian.
