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?
David Quammen is the author of The Song of the Dodo, among other books. He has been honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters and is the recipient of a John Burroughs Medal and the National Magazine Award. He lives in Bozeman, Montana.

評分☠️
評分薩斯是意大利人烏爾班尼發現並命名,他犧牲瞭自己,拯救瞭蒼生,他是世界衛生組織的,病發時在河內,正好在醫院去救一位香港去河內的美籍華人,感染上SARS之後,在河內過世瞭。
評分非常想推薦。上課讀的。這可能是我覺得大傢眼下最需要一讀的書瞭,畢竟真的應該認真瞭解下一些事。微信讀書上有中譯《緻命接觸》,雖不完美但有生於無。讀完覺得人類真的一是非常容易忽視自己是動物這件事,二是在一次次大爆發的前後都對病毒和傳染病的運作方式瞭解太少。此作不僅囊括瞭對亨尼巴病毒、埃博拉、SARS、HIV、瘧疾等病毒所造成大爆發的記述,還介紹瞭更多傳染病學傢和生態學傢探索病毒的過程、收獲和挑戰。同時還介紹瞭蝙蝠、禽類、猩猩獼猴等動物的特性,和它們在人畜傳染中的參與及所受到的迫害。作者在National Geographic工作多年,有著紮實的科學基礎和豐富的戶外野生研究經驗,文筆流暢不失幽默,平衡曆史和科學,叫人警醒卻鎮靜,是優秀的非虛構,一本信息量極大的傳染病作品我看得津津有味。
評分有一部分寫得好,但很大一部分都是在講故事,沒太多科學的東西
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...
評分【原文写于2017年7月,当时只是为了被科普关于病毒的一些知识,原笔记也比较粗糙,语句多有不顺。今年初新冠病毒肆虐,把原先的笔记拿出来看看,润色了文字。没想到,高传染性的疾病这么快就到来了。】 原书是一本科普类读物,浅尝辄止。我将用小标题标出几个我认为比较重要的...
評分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...
評分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...
