Features: First time to reveal the mysterious death records, uncover the core secrets of plague outbreaks, and reflect on human behavior in disasters. The Report on Human Plagues reports the "real-time" of dozens of plagues in history, from the cholera and plague that swept the world to the smallpox and measles that are almost extinct; from the fast-killing Ebola to the long-latent AIDS; from the familiar malaria, influenza, hepatitis, and tuberculosis to many mysterious diseases unknown to us. The book deeply showcases the incredible "performance" of humans in various plagues, thoroughly reveals the subtle relationship between plagues and human politics, culture, religion, and war, and profoundly warns of the foolishness and stupidity of humans "creating plagues" out of their own cleverness. This book comprehensively presents the history of human plagues for the first time, uncovering strange stories and terrifying customs in various plagues, and includes over a hundred precious images and multiple appendices, making it a history of human plagues that transcends historical suffering, breaks through cognitive blind spots, and expands the space for thinking.
