商品描述
Cartographies of Disease: Maps, Mapping, and Medicine, new expanded edition, is a comprehensive survey of the technology of mapping and its relationship to the battle against disease. This look at medical mapping advances the argument that maps are not merely representations of spatial realities but a way of thinking about relationships between viral and bacterial communities, human hosts, and the environments in which diseases flourish. Cartographies of Disease traces the history of medical mapping from its growth in the 19th century during an era of trade and immigration to its renaissance in the 1990s during a new era of globalization. Referencing maps older than John Snow's famous cholera maps of London in the mid-19th century, this survey pulls from the plague maps of the 1600s, while addressing current issues concerning the ability of GIS technology to track diseases worldwide. The original chapters have some minor updating, and two new chapters have been added. Chapter 13 attempts to understand how the hundreds of maps of Ebola revealed not simply disease incidence but the way in which the epidemic itself was perceived. Chapter 14 is about the spatiality of the disease and the means by which different cartographic approaches may affect how infectious outbreaks like ebola can be confronted and contained.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《疾病地圖學:地圖、繪圖與醫學》,新擴充版,是一部全面調查地圖技術及其與抗擊疾病之間關係的著作。這本書探討醫學地圖,進一步主張地圖不僅僅是空間現實的表現,而是一種思考病毒和細菌社群、人類宿主以及疾病繁衍環境之間關係的方式。《疾病地圖學》追溯了醫學地圖的歷史,從19世紀貿易和移民時期的成長,到1990年代全球化新時代的復興。書中引用了比約翰·斯諾(John Snow)於19世紀中期著名的倫敦霍亂地圖更早的地圖,並參考了17世紀的瘟疫地圖,同時探討當前有關地理資訊系統(GIS)技術在全球追蹤疾病能力的問題。原有章節進行了一些小幅更新,並新增了兩個章節。第13章試圖理解數百幅埃博拉(Ebola)地圖如何不僅揭示疾病發生率,還反映了對疫情本身的認知。第14章則探討疾病的空間性以及不同地圖繪製方法如何影響對如埃博拉等傳染病的應對和控制。
