Oxford General Reader: Pandemic (chinese Version)
by (u. S.) Christian W. Macmillan
About This Novel
Looking back at the course of human history, the shadow of epidemic diseases has always hung over us and lingered. In a sense, the history of human civilization is a history of constant struggle against plague. This book briefly introduces the major pandemics in history - plague, smallpox, malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, influenza and AIDS. It emphasizes the profound impact of epidemics on human society, the process of human understanding of epidemics and the response measures taken, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosive growth of medical research after the pandemic. At the end of the book, Macmillan specifically reminds us that we must learn from past experiences and actively cooperate to prevent any future epidemics.
