A masterpiece of science reporting that tracks the animal origins of emerging human diseases.
The emergence of strange new diseases is a frightening problem that seems to be getting worse. In this age of speedy travel, it threatens a worldwide pandemic. We hear news reports of Ebola, SARS, AIDS, and something called Hendra killing horses and people in Australia—but those reports miss the big truth that such phenomena are part of a single pattern. The bugs that transmit these diseases share one thing: they originate in wild animals and pass to humans by a process called spillover. David Quammen tracks this subject around the world. He recounts adventures in the field—netting bats in China, trapping monkeys in Bangladesh, stalking gorillas in the Congo—with the world’s leading disease scientists. In Spillover Quammen takes the reader along on this astonishing quest to learn how, where from, and why these diseases emerge, and he asks the terrifying question: What might the next big one be?
David Quammen is the author of The Song of the Dodo, among other books. He has been honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters and is the recipient of a John Burroughs Medal and the National Magazine Award. He lives in Bozeman, Montana.
正應時的一本書。可是身處疫情之中心浮氣躁,大概花瞭個把多月纔看完。 覺得寫的很好,不枯燥但基本概念講的還蠻清楚。有些黑色幽默。隻是感慨,書中(2012年齣版)流行病學傢幾乎都肯定The next big one(下一個大傳染病)會在不遠的將來發生,然而當它確實發生瞭,人類還是這麼準備不足啊。書裏麵提瞭三類比較可能大爆發的病毒,黏液病毒(流感類),逆轉錄病毒(艾滋),冠狀病毒(SARS),可不就是來瞭麼。

梁文道介绍这本书是这么说的,作者不是一个专业的科学家,但他是一个专业的作家。这其实就说得很明白了。乍听上去像是赞扬的话,只要你看过这本书,你就知道这并不完全是赞誉。 作者是著名的杂志记者,也出过书。但记者嘛——毕竟还是记者,和专业的医生或者理科生不一样。不一...
評分讲人畜共患的传染病的故事:亨德拉、埃博拉、疟疾、SARS、Q热、鹦鹉热、莱姆病、艾滋病等。作者比较会讲故事,又熟悉病毒传播相关的各种学科的知识(病毒学、生态学,还有一些我没记住的相关小学科),能把相关的科学知识讲出来,还采访过许多相关的科学家,还跟一些科学团队一...
評分10月2号,一名英国旅行者从阿富汗乘飞机返回故乡格拉斯哥,在旅途中,他突然感到有些不适。几个小时以后他被诊断出患有克里米亚-刚果出血热——这种疾病的病毒特别危险,足以让他被送上一架军用运输机并转移到伦敦的一家隔离医院里。 他没撑过24小时就病发身亡了。 上个月,在...
評分【原文写于2017年7月,当时只是为了被科普关于病毒的一些知识,原笔记也比较粗糙,语句多有不顺。今年初新冠病毒肆虐,把原先的笔记拿出来看看,润色了文字。没想到,高传染性的疾病这么快就到来了。】 原书是一本科普类读物,浅尝辄止。我将用小标题标出几个我认为比较重要的...
