English | 2 July 2024 | ISBN-10: 3031523458 | 210 pages| Epub PDF (True) | 111 MB

Historical Diseases from a Modern Perspective: The American Experience is a must read forany student of history or fan of historical novels. Every disease section contains fascinating historical insights relevant to the American experience, including how the 1900 outbreak of plague in San Franciso was contained, why the flow of the Chicago River was reversed, why “chicken pox parties” were once common, how the scourge of yellow fever was abated, and why poor southerners were once considered lazy and shiftless. Those readers interested in military history will learn how smallpox impacted troop strength in the Revolutionary War, dysentery in the Civil War, influenza in WWI, malaria in WWII, and sexually transmitted diseases across all wars. The social history of alcohol and opioid use is outlined as is the pre-antibiotic treatment of syphilis and gonorrhea, giving rise to the quip, “A night with Venus and a lifetime with mercury,” and the nickname “clap.”The use of anthrax as a tool of bioterrorism, the debilitating effects of scurvy, and the horror of leprosy are all discussed, along with multiple other diseases of historical interest.

从现代视角看历史疾病：美国经验是一部任何历史学者或历史小说爱好者必读之书。每种疾病部分都包含对美国经验具有相关性的有趣历史见解，包括如何在1900年抑制了旧金山鼠疫的爆发，为何会反向流动芝加哥河，鸡瘟聚会为什么曾经盛行，黄热病肆虐是如何被遏制，以及为何贫困的南部人曾被认为是懒惰和游手好闲。对军事史感兴趣的读者将了解天花在革命战争中影响兵力，在南北战争中的泻肠症，一战中的流感，二战中的疟疾，以及所有战争中的性传播疾病的影响。酒精与阿片类使用的历史社会状况被概述，包括抗生素出现之前的梅毒和淋病治疗，由此产生了一句俏皮话：“和金星共度一夜，一生都得忍受汞。”“克劳普”昵称也被提及。炭疽作为生物恐怖主义工具的使用以及坏血症的破坏性效果，还有鼠疫带来的恐怖也均被讨论，此外还有很多其他历史相关疾病的介绍。
