Lewis Thomas was a physician, poet, etymologist, essayist, administrator, educator, policy advisor, and researcher. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Medical School, he was the dean of Yale Medical School and New York University School of Medicine, and the president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute. He wrote regularly in the New England Journal of Medicine, and his essays were published in several collections, including The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher, which won two National Book Awards and a Christopher Award, and The Medusa and the Snail, which won the National Book Award in Science. He died in 1993.
Elegant, suggestive, and clarifying, Lewis Thomas's profoundly humane vision explores the world around us and examines the complex interdependence of all things. Extending beyond the usual limitations of biological science and into a vast and wondrous world of hidden relationships, this provocative book explores in personal, poetic essays to topics such as computers, germs, language, music, death, insects, and medicine. Lewis Thomas writes, "Once you have become permanently startled, as I am, by the realization that we are a social species, you tend to keep an eye out for the pieces of evidence that this is, by and large, good for us."

评分Nowak在《超级合作者》中看上去有一种恨不得把“合作”供起来的感觉。他提出,合作是进化的总设计师,是进化最重要的机制,说以前达尔文(主义者)都是谈竞争,这不对,其实合作更重要。托马斯在本书中有时候也有点这个意思,但是还好。我想说,Nowak看错了,也误解了达尔文。...
评分一口气读了刘易斯•托玛斯的两本书《细胞生命的礼赞》和《蜗牛与水母》,不时地因为作者诙谐的想象力会心而笑,而对于人类最终将会成为完全健康的人等见解,虽不敢苟同,但为这独特和乐观暗自称赞。 说道人体系统,你说干涉乃是引起麻烦的途径,我突然想到了经济学发展的历...
评分——摘自 托马斯《细胞生命的礼赞》 细菌 看着电视,我们会认为,我们是在四伏的危机中作困兽斗,被追逐我们的细菌团切包围,之所以免于感染和死亡,那只是因为化学技术在护卫着我们,每时每刻在杀退众菌。我们得到的指导是把消毒剂到处喷洒,卧室要喷,厨房要喷,洗澡间...
