随着果壳那种不正常文风的科普小品在科普界异军突起,科学式幽默sheldon式段子越来越多,不经意流露的炫智商/炫理性思维越来越少(或越来越萌贱化),科普的受众面也就广了许多。然而,这样的科普还是把一些并不逗逼,不解风情的人们送出了观众席。如中老年,无幽默细胞者,还...
评分首先这不是一本专业的科普读物,而是一本由一位母亲为了更好的保护自己的孩子,旨在让孩子能健康成长的随笔。所以还是一本比较好读的书。 其次,正因这本书是一本随笔,所以可以随手拿起来翻开任意一章阅读。 读完这本书,做完幕布复盘后,印象最深的是作者提到的“群体免疫力...
评分 评分 评分说到阅读《免疫》这本书,不能不说是一次冲动的体验,听过《八分》中一期讲到借种疫苗的节目后就冲动地买下了它。 出乎我意料之外的是,这本书的作者尤拉.比斯并不是相关问题的专业人士,而这本书也不像我最初认为的那样是一本介绍免疫的科普书。这本书确切的说是作者初为人母...

Why do we fear vaccines? A provocative examination by Eula Biss, the author of Notes from No Man’s Land, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Upon becoming a new mother, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear—fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what is in your child’s air, food, mattress, medicine, and vaccines. She finds that you cannot immunize your child, or yourself, from the world.
In this bold, fascinating book, Biss investigates the metaphors and myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body. As she hears more and more fears about vaccines, Biss researches what they mean for her own child, her immediate community, America, and the world, both historically and in the present moment. She extends a conversation with other mothers to meditations on Voltaire’s Candide, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Susan Sontag’s AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond. On Immunity is a moving account of how we are all interconnected—our bodies and our fates.
结构好散乱,社科类的作品没有章节标题不可忍啊,而且每节第一句都以“我儿子”开头。有些地方似乎有些闪光点,但是没继续深入地聊下去。还是作为专栏文章发表比较好吧
评分一开始读的时候还以为是讲免疫力的科学原理的,读着读着才发现太软了,就是针对疫苗恐慌的科普书,我根本不属于这本书的目标群体,读来无趣(开头除外)。
评分才知道疫苗原来不管在国内国外一直都是个话题,也了解了关于疫苗的风险与收益的是是非非,人类的博弈真是无处不在。
评分太散了,没有特别eloquent的段落……视角是难得的,反思了知识的生产与传播,但还是感觉没有说到点子上。得让医学人类学的人来讲,而不是一个记者
评分挺不错的。我没把这本书当做科普读物看,因为它根本不是来告诉别人具体知识的,它是在帮人树立正确的态度——全面、理性地看待免疫这个问题,避免偏激和恐慌。
