Reseña del libro "Mirage Of Health: Utopias, Progress, And Biological Change (en Inglés)"
Mirage of Health: Utopias, Progress, and Biological Change is a book written by Rene Jules Dubos, a French-born American microbiologist, and environmentalist. The book is a critical analysis of the concept of health and its relationship with society, culture, and the environment. Dubos argues that the modern idea of health, which is based on the absence of disease, is a utopian ideal that is unattainable. He suggests that health is a dynamic and complex state that is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, environment, and social and cultural factors.Dubos also explores the impact of progress and technological advancements on health. He argues that while modern medicine has made significant advances in treating and preventing diseases, it has also created new health problems and challenges. For example, the use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the widespread use of pesticides and other chemicals has led to environmental pollution and health hazards.The book also discusses the role of biological change in health. Dubos suggests that humans are not fixed biological entities but are constantly evolving and adapting to their environment. He argues that the concept of health should take into account the dynamic nature of human biology and the need for adaptation and change.Overall, Mirage of Health is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges conventional ideas about health and the role of medicine in society. It provides a unique perspective on the complex relationship between health, culture, and the environment and offers important insights into the challenges facing modern medicine and public health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
