“[An] ambitious and... successful attempt to reset our relationship with the field of public health. With a judicious blend of candor, hopefulness and pragmatism,[Rivers] calls out its mistakes, reminds us of its historic accomplishments and emphasizes the need for the discipline to adjust its strategies if its full promise is to be realized.”—Wall Street Journal

"A master class in how we can pinpoint and prevent health crises before they spiral out of control."—Scott Gottlieb, MD, author of Uncontrolled Spread

A fascinating window into the secret life of epidemiology, weaving together stories of triumph and tragedy, with a boots-on-the-ground perspective on how we can avert the next public health crisis

There are few visible markers of the accomplishments of public health. When epidemiologists do their jobs, nothing happens. An outbreak does not grow into an epidemic. A child does not go hungry. A would-be smoker never lights up. In this fascinating window into the secret life of public health, Caitlin Rivers weaves together stories of triumph and tragedy to show that by making sure things don't happen, she and legions of scientists, practitioners, and policymakers change the course of history.

We have many of the tools and experiences needed to prevent the next crisis, but as past experiences teach us, the unexpected is always around the corner. We cannot afford complacency, as countless challenges remain, including constantly emerging pathogens, the rapid growth of biotechnology, and the inconsistent cycles of funding for public health programs. Progress can be slow, but the unsung heroes in epidemiology remain focused on their missions. Crisis Averted tells their stories—from the eradication of smallpox in the twentieth century to a battle against mosquito-borne diseases in the Florida Keys to the international safeguards implemented against extraterrestrial germs.

By taking a candid look at how we solve problems in public health, Caitlin Rivers illuminates the role of epidemiology in all our lives and lays out the case for what can be accomplished given sufficient vision, leadership, and resources. Crisis Averted is an inspiring and galvanizing call for us to work together towards a healthier, more resilient future.

[一次雄心勃勃且成功的尝试，重置我们与公共卫生领域的关系。Rivers以诚恳、希望和务实相结合的方式，指出了自己的错误，并提醒我们其历史成就，并强调了该学科需要调整策略以实现其全部潜力的必要性。]—《华尔街日报》 “如何在危机爆发前锁定并预防健康危机的一门大师课。”—医生Scott Gottlieb，《失控蔓延》一书作者 这是一扇观察流行病学神秘生活的好奇窗口，编织着胜利与悲剧的故事，并以实地操作的角度展示我们可以避免未来的公共卫生危机。 很少有显而易见的标记显示公共卫生领域的成就。当流行病学家完成工作时，什么都不会发生。一次爆发不会演变成大流行。一个孩子不会挨饿。一个想要抽烟的人从未点燃香烟。在这一扇观察公共卫生神秘生活的窗口中，Caitlin Rivers编织着胜利与悲剧的故事，展示了她和成千上万的科学家、从业者和政策制定者通过确保事情不会发生，改变历史进程的作用。 我们有许多工具和经验来预防下一次危机，但正如过去的经历所教我们的那样，意外总是紧随其后。我们不能保持懈怠，因为无数挑战仍然存在，包括不断出现的病原体、生物技术的迅速增长以及公共卫生项目资金的不规律循环。进步可能缓慢，但流行病学领域的默默英雄们依然专注于他们的使命。危机避免讲述了这些故事——从20世纪小规模疾病的根除到佛罗里达州基拉韦厄对抗蚊媒疾病的一场战斗再到对潜在外星微生物的国际防护措施。 通过对公共卫生问题如何解决的方式进行坦诚的审视，Caitlin Rivers照亮了流行病学在我们生活中的角色，并阐述出在足够视野、领导和资源的情况下可以实现的成就。《危机避免》是一次鼓舞人心且激发行动号召，呼吁我们共同努力走向一个更健康、更具韧性未来。
