ON IMMUNITY: An Inoculation
《免疫：接種》(On Immunity: An Inoculation)
By Eula Biss
歐拉·比斯(Eula Biss)。

格雷沃夫出版社，24美元
In this spellbinding blend of memoir, science journalism and literary criticism, Biss unpacks what the fear of vaccines tells us about larger anxieties involving purity, contamination and interdependency. Deeply researched and anchored in Biss’s own experiences as a new mother, this ferociously intelligent book is itself an inoculation against bad science and superstition, and a reminder that we owe one another our lives.
這部引人入勝的書混合了回憶錄、科學新聞寫作和文藝評論。比斯揭示出，對疫苗的恐懼顯示了我們對于純正、污染與相關性的深層焦慮。她建立在自己初為人母經歷的基礎上展開深入研究，創(chuàng)作了這本極為聰明的書，講述疫苗如何對抗偽科學與迷信，并提醒人們，人類在生活中是互相依存的。
