这本书没必要写这么长,感觉罗里吧嗦。而且书中关于SARS的记录,真的是太太太太肤浅了,直接让我怀疑了本书其他章节的准确性和真实性。书中写到“对于一个拥有13亿人口的打过来说,吃饭是个大问题,人们吃蛇不足为奇,广东人吃狗也就显得顺理成章”,这都是些啥啊。至于其他的...
评分毕竟作者不是专业人士,而仅仅是个记者,因此可以学到的医学知识不多,不能算是科普书籍。 内容有点接近流水账,从发现传染病的过程,到一些进展。但是最后大部分都是未解之谜。有些拖沓。 看完SARS就看不下去了。。。。只能看着玩儿。

评分 评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...

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?
萨斯是意大利人乌尔班尼发现并命名,他牺牲了自己,拯救了苍生,他是世界卫生组织的,病发时在河内,正好在医院去救一位香港去河内的美籍华人,感染上SARS之后,在河内过世了。
评分☠️
评分有一部分写得好,但很大一部分都是在讲故事,没太多科学的东西
评分bonechilling. illuminating. what Hot Zone would wanted but never could've be. great relevance in light of recent Ebola outbreak. solid research.
评分强烈推荐!作为科学的门外汉却总对纯粹的科学研究感到有意思。书中举了不少例子, 个个骨肉丰满且语言风趣,一点不觉得枯燥。而zoonosis的产生和传播也使人类必须反思自己的行为,因为并不存在“nature world”,我们和病毒都生活在一个世界。如果不约束自己的行为无节制的侵犯, 将有更多的病毒在进化机制下变成zoonosis.
