Blood carries life, yet the sight of it makes people faint. It is a waste product and a commodity pricier than oil. It can save lives and transmit deadly infections. Each one of us has roughly nine pints of it, yet many don’t even know their own blood type. And for all its ubiquity, the few tablespoons of blood discharged by 800 million women are still regarded as taboo; menstruation is perhaps the single most demonized biological event.
Rose George, author of The Big Necessity, is renowned for her intrepid work on topics that are invisible but vitally important. In Nine Pints, she takes us from ancient practices of bloodletting to modern “hemovigilance” teams that track blood-borne diseases. She introduces Janet Vaughan, who set up the world’s first system of mass blood donation during the Blitz, and Arunachalam Muruganantham, known as “Menstrual Man” for his work on sanitary pads for developing countries. She probes the lucrative business of plasma transfusions, in which the U.S. is known as the “OPEC of plasma.” And she looks to the future, as researchers seek to bring synthetic blood to a hospital near you.
Spanning science and politics, stories and global epidemics, Nine Pints reveals our life's blood in an entirely new light.

評分血液有待深入理解,未來仍可期待
評分可讀性有點差
評分可讀性有點差
評分本來是抱著挺大期望讀的,結果纔看瞭幾頁就看到作者為瞭反駁對同性戀人士輸血的禁令所提齣的論據“如今危害更大的衣原體和肝炎反而沒有艾滋病受重視”,拜托肝炎病毒是獻血必檢項目(衛生條件極差的地區除外),衣原體是STD但不是血源性的,HIV可以通過吃藥將病毒載量控製到無法檢齣,但至少得持續六個月纔可視作non-contagious,且仍然infectious,也就是仍可通過直接血液感染⋯⋯再怎麼重視肝炎和衣原體也不應該獻血時纔來關心,這根本所有論據都是指西打東吧?查瞭一下作者並無任何醫學專業經驗,隻是當記者時訪問過HIV診所(emmmm)作者野心太大但囿於專業知識有限,全書東寫一塊西寫一塊猶如剪報,事實沒怎麼弄清楚反而還有許多觀點有失偏頗,個人經曆部分還可一看,其他實在可免
