Krátky popis
A Financial Times Best Book of the Year The most timely and
informative history book you will read this year, tracing a century
of pandemics, with a new chapter on COVID-19. Ever since the 1918
Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing
catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a
century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue
to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news
cycles.From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic
plague in Los Angeles, to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the
more recent SARS, Ebola, Zika and - now - COVID-19 epidemics, the
last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated
pandemic alarms. In The Pandemic Century, Mark Honigsbaum
chronicles 100 years of history in 10 outbreaks. Bringing us right
up-to-date with a new chapter on COVID-19, this fast-paced,
critically-acclaimed book combines science history, medical
sociology and thrilling front-line reportage to deliver the story
of our times.As we meet dedicated disease detectives, obstructive
public health officials, and gifted scientists often blinded by
their own expertise, we come face-to-face with the brilliance and
medical hubris shaping both the frontier of science - and the
future of humanity's survival.
