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."
——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...
評分刘易斯.托马斯是美国科学院院士,是个大人物,朋友强其做文,才有今天我们看到的《细胞生命的礼赞》、《水母与蜗牛》等书。一个好的科学家不一定可以成为好的科普作家,但一个大的科学家往往可以写出“深入浅出”、“妙笔生花”的科普作品,究其原因在于致广大而尽精微,博而精...
評分风靡全球的《阿凡达》最动人之处当属那个梦幻般的潘多拉星球,星球上的各种生物都可以通过“神经元”相互联结,心灵感应,息息相通。所有的生灵与星球浑然一体,他们彼此相爱,彼此互相尊敬,以一颗感恩的心,和爱的能量在传递信息,不断进化着。我们戴着笨重的3D眼镜坐在钢铁...
評分是一本小书,由作者多年撰写的评论合集出版。所以从各章节内容看,是独立而不连贯的,是作者的思考,而不是强要灌输给读者什么对错观念。 因为出版的年代早了,书中的很多观点经过这些年的推广,已经为人所知,比如,人和自然(动物)世界的关系是共存共荣的、细胞细菌...
評分从支离破碎的翻译句子, 以及其费力的姿态, 还是可以感知到作者优美的文笔。 但作者的思想, 还不够彻底, 在我看了《自私的基因》和《迷米机器》之后, 尤其是后者, 作者对于语言有生命的描述, 若用迷米的概念来阐述, 会更加精确并有说服力。 此外推荐与此书相关的阅读...
