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?
具体描述
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...
评分全书的关键词是"旅"，主要是通过已知疾病推溯其原始宿主并推测可能的传播路径，受限于作者是《国家地理》杂志供稿人的身份，也只能这么写。最喜欢的两章，一个是SARS，我其实还是没搞清楚，到底是因为经历过这场疫情，还是因为作者写了很多他自己的调查访问而不单是堆砌论文，...
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...
用户评价
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
评分在家抗疫的手边书，信息丰富，笔触生动幽默，在亚马逊和Goodreads网站都有4+的高分。SARS一段写得宛如犯罪小说，“猴与河”更有一段文艺兮兮的独木舟漂流记，尾声把人口爆发类比成outbreak真是当头棒喝。这也许让自诩硬核的读者心生鄙夷，但整本书的趣味性和可读性极佳，作为科普真的是太好了。
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.

评分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。
