THE ATLAS OF DISEASE: MAPPING DEADLY EPIDEMICS AND CONTAGION FROM THE PLAGUE TO THE ZIKA VIRUS
Book ID/图书代码： 11180020C00063
English Summary/英文概要： The first book to interweave new maps with contemporary illustrations to chart some of the world’s most deadly pandemics and epidemics.
Behind every disease is a story, a complex narrative woven of multiple threads, from the natural history of the disease, to the tale of its discovery and its place in history.
But what is vital in all of this is how the disease spreads and develops. In The Atlas of Disease, Sandra Hemple reveals how maps have uncovered insightful information about the history of disease, from the seventeenth century plague maps that revealed the radical idea that diseases might be carried and spread by humans, to cholera maps in the 1800s showing the disease was carried by water, right up to the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s and the recent devastating ebola outbreak.
Crucially, The Atlas of Disease will also explore how cartographic techniques have been used to combat epidemics by revealing previously hidden patterns. These discoveries have changed the course of history, affected human evolution, stimulated advances in medicine and shaped the course of countless lives.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 第一本將新地圖與當代插圖交織在一起，描繪世界上一些最致命的流行病和瘟疫的書。
每一種疾病的背後都有一個故事，一個由多條線索編織而成的複雜敘述，從疾病的自然史，到它被發現的故事和它在歷史上的地位。但在所有這一切中至關重要的是疾病如何傳播和發展。
在這本《疾病地圖集》中，Sandra Hemple展示了地圖如何揭示有關疾病歷史的深刻訊息，從 17 世紀的瘟疫地圖揭示了疾病可能由人類攜帶和傳播的激進觀點，到 1800 年代的霍亂地圖顯示了疾病是由水傳播的，直到 1980 年代的愛滋病流行和毀滅性的伊波拉病毒的爆發。
最重要的是，《疾病地圖集》還將探索製圖技術如何通過揭示以前隱藏的模式來對抗流行病。這些發現改變了歷史進程，影響了人類進化，刺激了醫學的進步，並塑造了無數生命的進程。
