圖書描述

All who lived in the early 1950s remember the fear of polio and the elation felt when a successful vaccine was found. Now David Oshinsky tells the gripping story of the polio terror and of the intense effort to find a cure, from the March of Dimes to the discovery of the Salk and Sabin

vaccines--and beyond.

Here is a remarkable portrait of America in the early 1950s, using the widespread panic over polio to shed light on our national obsessions and fears. Drawing on newly available papers of Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin and other key players, Oshinsky paints a suspenseful portrait of the race for

the cure, weaving a dramatic tale centered on the furious rivalry between Salk and Sabin. Indeed, the competition was marked by a deep-seated ill will among the researchers that remained with them until their deaths. The author also tells the story of Isabel Morgan, perhaps the most talented of all

polio researchers, who might have beaten Salk to the prize if she had not retired to raise a family. As backdrop to this feverish research, Oshinsky offers an insightful look at the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which was founded in the 1930s by FDR and Basil O'Connor. The National

Foundation revolutionized fundraising and the perception of disease in America, using "poster children" and the famous March of Dimes to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from a vast army of contributors (instead of a few well-heeled benefactors), creating the largest research and rehabilitation

network in the history of medicine. The polio experience also revolutionized the way in which the government licensed and tested new drugs before allowing them on the market, and the way in which the legal system dealt with manufacturers' liability for unsafe products. Finally, and perhaps most

tellingly, Oshinsky reveals that polio was never the raging epidemic portrayed by the media, but in truth a relatively uncommon disease. But in baby-booming America--increasingly suburban, family-oriented, and hygiene-obsessed--the specter of polio, like the specter of the atomic bomb, soon became a

cloud of terror over daily life.

Both a gripping scientific suspense story and a provocative social and cultural history, Polio opens a fresh window onto postwar America.

This is a great story. History usually makes great stories. It is at times a little too distracting with names and details but overall a good read.

坦白说,很少把医学史类书读的这样有趣,并有推荐的冲动。 《他们应当行走》(Polio, An American Story),从一个侧面描述了美国控制脊髓灰质炎的伟大历程。科学家、行政官员、社会组织、疫苗生产商,形形色色的人,因为小儿麻痹症----四、五十年代所有美国家长们的噩梦----而...

作为一个曾经纠结过使用脊灰的减活还是灭活疫苗的妈妈,看到手里的这本金黄封皮的《他们应该行走》,我曾经猜测这本书讲的该是两种脊灰疫苗的来源、利弊与优劣,也许,它会有助于我们做出选择? 然而,很显然,纽约大学的医学人文系的主任戴维•M. 奥辛斯基的野心要更大,他...
