The Great Influenza 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 著者简介

John M. Barry is an American author and historian, perhaps best known for his books on the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 the influenza pandemic of 1918 and his book on the development of the modern form of the ideas of separation of church and state and individual liberty. His most recent book is Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul: Church, State, and the Birth of Liberty (Viking 2012).

Barry's 1997 book Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list and won the 1998 Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians for the year's best book on American history. His work on water-related issues was recognized by the National Academies of Sciences in its invitation to give the 2006 Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture on Water Resources; he is the only non-scientist ever to give that lecture.

His 2004 book The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Greatest Plague in History was also a New York Times Best Seller, and won the 2005 Keck Communications Award from the United States National Academies of Science for the year's outstanding book on science or medicine. In 2005 he also won the "September 11th Award" from the Center for Biodefense and Emerging Pathogens at Brown University. He has served on a federal government's Infectious Disease Board of Experts, on the advisory board of MIT's Center for Engineering Fundamentals, and on the advisory committee at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for its Center for Refugee and Disaster Response.

The expertise he developed in these two areas has involved him in policy-making, risk communication and disaster management strategies, and developing resilient communities, and this work resulted in his induction into Delta Omega, the academic honorary society for public health. More specifically, he has advised the private sector and local, state, national, and international government officials about preparing for another influenza pandemic. He has also both advised officials and taken a direct role in preparing for water-related disasters. A resident of New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina he was also named to both the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority, which is the levee board overseeing several separate levee districts in the New Orleans area, and the state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, which is responsible for hurricane protection for the entire state.

His first book, The Ambition and the Power: A true story of Washington, appeared in 1989 and explored the operation of the U.S. Congress, the use of power by Speaker of the House Jim Wright, and the rise of future Speaker Newt Gingrich. In 1995 the New York Times named it one of the eleven best books ever written on Congress and Washington.

With Steven Rosenberg, MD, Ph.D., chief of the Surgery Branch at the National Cancer Institute and a pioneer in the development of "immunotherapy" for cancer—stimulating the immune system to attack cancer—Barry co-authored his second book, The Transformed Cell: Unlocking the Mysteries of Cancer, which was published in 12 languages.

Barry has written for The New York Times, Time Magazine, Fortune, The Washington Post, Esquire, and other publications and frequently appears as a guest commentator on broadcast media.

He has also coached high school and college football, and his first published article was about blocking assignments for offensive linemen and appeared in a professional journal for coaches, Scholastic Coach.

The Great Influenza 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

No disease the world has ever known even remotely resembles the great influenza epidemic of 1918. Presumed to have begun when sick farm animals infected soldiers in Kansas, spreading and mutating into a lethal strain as troops carried it to Europe, it exploded across the world with unequaled ferocity and speed. It killed more people in twenty weeks than AIDS has killed in twenty years; it killed more people in a year than the plagues of the Middle Ages killed in a century. Victims bled from the ears and nose, turned blue from lack of oxygen, suffered aches that felt like bones being broken, and died. In the United States, where bodies were stacked without coffins on trucks, nearly seven times as many people died of influenza as in the First World War.

In his powerful new book, award-winning historian John M. Barry unfolds a tale that is magisterial in its breadth and in the depth of its research, and spellbinding as he weaves multiple narrative strands together. In this first great collision between science and epidemic disease, even as society approached collapse, a handful of heroic researchers stepped forward, risking their lives to confront this strange disease. Titans like William Welch at the newly formed Johns Hopkins Medical School and colleagues at Rockefeller University and others from around the country revolutionized American science and public health, and their work in this crisis led to crucial discoveries that we are still using and learning from today.

The Washington Post’s Jonathan Yardley said Barry’s last book can "change the way we think." The Great Influenza may also change the way we see the world.

很久以前被推荐过,因为到处买不到而作罢。没想到covid19来的这么猛烈,又持续了这么久,让我特别想看看1918年的大流感是怎么回事。这本书看的让我特别心累……就跟作者后序说到的一样,他并没有仅仅focus大流感这个主题,讲了美国医学变迁等这这那那的事情,反而显得杂乱无章。我们被作者点名批评,质疑transparency;人类从大流感学到什么?科学毋庸置疑的飞速进步,但是面临变异的病毒,我们还是很难赶上脚步。那么最重要的是什么?tell the truth!就这么简单,却一忘再忘

评分

虽然作者比较喜欢时空穿梭式的写法,在记录大流感事件本身以外还夹叙了很多科学史方面的东西,读起来没有一般的Non-fiction那么畅快。但是这些夹带的信息输出的质量还是挺高的,我还挺喜欢他的「掉书袋」,感觉算是本书的特色。

评分

必须5星。本书最有愿意的是最后一章的最后一句话。

人真挺悲哀的

这本书非常非常详细地叙述了1918年的大流感。在身处冠状病毒肆虐的当今阅读这本书,简直就是身临其境。历史的重复,惊人相似。简直就是在十几年前书写了今日。尤其是作者的后序,说到,下次流行病来临之前,我们准备好了吗?今日,我们交上了一份不合格的答卷。完全没有准备好。一百年后的今日,不知道谁会在几年后,十几年后为我们书写。书本的前1/3一直都没有写到大流感,而是做了一个很长的铺垫,介绍了在大流感中扮演着重要角色的医生和他们的从医历程,还有对病毒的介绍和描述。等到对大流感的历史事件的描写的时候,感觉还是很震撼。
