Sci 目前正在处理一些个人事务,无法保持正常的发帖频率。今天,我想向大家推荐一本书:《众病之王:癌症传》,作者是 Siddhartha Mukherjee。

《众病之王》是一部引人入胜(虽然并不令人振奋)的关于人类与癌症抗争历史的记述。它记录了数千年前首次有记载的癌症出现,并延续到今天,详细描述了我们对癌症作为一种疾病日益增长的理解,并描述了我们如何学会治疗它。这是一个引人入胜的叙述,展示了我们已经取得了多么巨大的进步,但也让我们认识到,我们所取得的一切与癌症的全部相比是多么的微不足道。

这绝对不是一本令人愉快的读物,但它信息量极大、文笔优美且易于理解。我认为这是每个人都需要读的书,因为我们总有一天会在生活中面对患有癌症的人。
