　　《流行病与社会》讲述了可怕而震撼人心的千年瘟疫史。微生物的致命威胁无数次逼近人类：鼠疫、天花、黄热病、痢疾、斑疹伤寒、霍乱、结核病、疟疾、脊髓灰质炎、艾滋病、SARS、埃博拉病毒……

　　针对这些深刻影响人类历史的流行病，斯诺登将专业权威的医学知识与波澜壮阔的历史叙事熔于一炉。

　　本书论述范围极广，跨越古今，遍及全球，深入展开医学与社会历史间的多学科比较研究，向我们揭示了流行病与社会的交互影响：一方面，疾病如何推动医学科学和公共卫生事业的发展，如何塑造艺术、宗教、思想史和战争形态；另一方面，社会因素又如何让疾病获得适宜环境，迅速传播，肆虐人类。

Content introduction

Epidemics and Society tells the terrifying and shocking story of the thousand-year history of the plague. The deadly threats of microorganisms have come close to humanity countless times: plague, smallpox, yellow fever, dysentery, typhus, cholera, tuberculosis, malaria, polio, AIDS, SARS, Ebola...

In response to these epidemics that profoundly shaped human history, Snowden combines authoritative medical knowledge with a dramatic historical narrative.

This wide-ranging, global, multidisciplinary study of the history of medicine and society reveals the interplay between epidemics and society: on the one hand, how disease drives medical science and public health, how it shapes art, religion, intellectual history, and the shape of war; On the other hand, how social factors allow diseases to create the right environment to spread quickly and ravage humans.
