A Financial Times Best Book of the YearThe 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.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/the-pandemic-century-9780753558287

Cette enquête de Marie-Monique Robin fait le lien entre prolifération de nouveaux virus et destruction de la biodiversité et sonde les scientifiques réunis autour de la question de la santé planétaire. Pour contrer la multiplication des crises sanitaires, ces spécialistes prônent la préservation de la biodiversité comme antidote. " Voir un lien entre la pollution de l'air, la biodiversité et le Covid-19 relève du surréalisme, pas de la science ! ", affirmait Luc Ferry en mars 2020, fustigeant les écologistes qui " confondent crise sanitaire et crise environnementale dans un but de récupération politique ". Voilà un philosophe bien mal informé. Car depuis les années 2000, des dizaines de scientifiques internationaux tirent la sonnette d'alarme : les activités humaines, en précipitant l'effondrement de la biodiversité, ont créé les conditions d'une épidémie de pandémies de maladies infectieuses et non transmissibles. C'est ce que montre dans cet essai rigoureusement documenté Marie-Monique Robin, qui y rassemble pour la première fois les informations issues de nombreux travaux scientifiques et d'entretiens inédits avec une trentaine de chercheurs. Informations jusqu'alors largement ignorées des politiques et des médias, du fait notamment de la balkanisation des connaissances entre disciplines spécialisées. En apportant enfin une vision d'ensemble, accessible à tous, elle contribue à dissiper le grand aveuglement collectif qui empêchait d'agir. Car le constat est sans appel : la déforestation, l'urbanisation et les réseaux routiers, l'agriculture industrielle et la globalisation économique ont entraîné une destruction des écosystèmes qui menace la santé planétaire. Cette destruction est à l'origine des zoonoses, maladies transmises par des animaux aux humains : du virus Ebola au Covid-19, en passant par le SRAS, le Nipah ou Chikungunya, elles font partie des nouvelles mala dies émergentes qui se sont multipliées depuis un demi-siècle, par des mécanismes très clairement expliqués dans ce livre. Qui montre aussi pourquoi, si rien n'est fait, d'autres pandémies, pires encore, vont suivre. Ce qui indique par contraste une voie prometteuse : plutôt que la course vaine aux vaccins ou le confinement chronique de la population, le seul antidote à cette menace est la préservation de la biodiversité, impliquant la remise en cause de l'emprise délétère des humains sur les écosystèmes, fruit du modèle économique dominant.

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas. Leading mobilities theorist Mimi Sheller offers an up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of the complex mobility disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath in this timely Advanced Introduction. It outlines the formation of the interdisciplinary field of mobility studies, arguing that mobilities theory is crucial to planning post-pandemic recovery, sustainable communities, and low-carbon transitions. From tourism to migration to urban infrastructure, to informal and reproductive mobilities, Sheller reveals how multiple im/mobilities are interconnected, as the novel coronavirus reminds us as it hitchhikes across the globe through its human hosts.
