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."
湖南科技出版社的第一推动丛书都挺不错。不象那些仅仅传播科学知识,适合小孩看的科普书。第一推动丛书非常注重科学思想的传播,用通俗的话讲深刻的科学道理。这系列丛书让我觉得湖南这个地方的很有文化品位。岳麓书院让人感觉也不错。 难怪近代中国那么多人物都是湖南人。 ...

評分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。...
評分当人类真正明白生命是什么,从哪里来,怎么出现的时候,或许人类就可以接受真正的外星生命,亦或可以创造全新的生命形式.。但在此之前,我们的臆想和实验都是不牢靠的。 =========================================
評分《细胞生命礼赞》《失控》《复杂》三部曲。 假设有一个生命体,它的神经反射弧非常长,动作非常慢,以至于一年呼吸一次。。。那么芸芸众生在它眼力岂不是和基本粒子一样不停做着无规则运动,毫无生命气息可言,而真正有生命的东西,倒不如说是沧海桑田。其实未必需要先前的假设...
