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?

读后感
Overall, the book is pretty informative and science-based for a decent reader. By reading the book, one can learn a great deal of epidemic related knowledge. The book is sort of a page-turner itself during Covid-19 period(home-bound quarantine). I first le...
评分看了SARS那章，才发现这个译者有多不走心，时代周刊亚洲版翻译成亚洲时代是什么鬼…是头一次干翻译吗？另外提到的几个病毒学家根本查不到信息。我查了当年资料才把“关熠”和袁国勇对上号…中国翻译翻译中国人名字多查两下弄对很难吗？怀疑译者的工作态度。 不过书还是很有趣的...
评分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...

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。
用户评价
非常想推荐。上课读的。这可能是我觉得大家眼下最需要一读的书了，毕竟真的应该认真了解下一些事。微信读书上有中译《致命接触》，虽不完美但有生于无。读完觉得人类真的一是非常容易忽视自己是动物这件事，二是在一次次大爆发的前后都对病毒和传染病的运作方式了解太少。此作不仅囊括了对亨尼巴病毒、埃博拉、SARS、HIV、疟疾等病毒所造成大爆发的记述，还介绍了更多传染病学家和生态学家探索病毒的过程、收获和挑战。同时还介绍了蝙蝠、禽类、猩猩猕猴等动物的特性，和它们在人畜传染中的参与及所受到的迫害。作者在National Geographic工作多年，有着扎实的科学基础和丰富的户外野生研究经验，文笔流畅不失幽默，平衡历史和科学，叫人警醒却镇静，是优秀的非虚构，一本信息量极大的传染病作品我看得津津有味。
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.
