威爾森(Edward O. Wilson),哈佛大學佩萊格裏諾講座研究教授,哈佛大學比較動物學博物館的昆蟲館名譽館長。為當代最具影響力的科學傢之一,被喻為「生物多樣性之父」、「社會生物學之父」。曾兩度獲得普立茲獎,著有《大自然的獵人》、《繽紛的生命》、《Consilience—知識大融通》、《螞蟻‧螞蟻》等書。
譯者:楊玉齡,專事科學書籍翻譯、寫作。著作有《颱灣蛇毒傳奇》、《肝炎聖戰》,譯作有《基因聖戰》、《大自然的獵人》、《佛剋曼醫師的戰爭》等。
From one of the world’s most influential scientists (and two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author) comes his most timely and important book yet: an impassioned call for quick and decisive action to save Earth’s biological heritage, and a plan to achieve that rescue.
Today we understand that our world is infinitely richer than was ever previously guessed. Yet it is so ravaged by human activity that half its species could be gone by the end of the present century. These two contrasting truths—unexpected magnificence and underestimated peril—have become compellingly clear during the past two decades of research on biological diversity.
In this dazzlingly intelligent and ultimately hopeful book, Wilson describes what treasures of the natural world we are about to lose forever—in many cases animals, insects, and plants we have only just discovered, and whose potential to nourish us, protect us, and cure our illnesses is immeasurable—and what we can do to save them. In the process, he explores the ethical and religious bases of the conservation movement and deflates the myth that environmental policy is antithetical to economic growth by illustrating how new methods of conservation can ensure long-term economic well-being.
The Future of Life is a magisterial accomplishment: both a moving description of our biosphere and a guidebook for the protection of all its species, including humankind.
爱德华.威尔逊无疑是一位值得令人尊重的先知。 在本书中,他发出这样的声音“生命的未来,在于野地保护,而不是濒危动物。”他用其广博的知识,让我们立足现在,关注真相;同时也给出来颇有意义,兼顾各方利益的建议。 为什么是野地? 威尔逊如是说。 尽管我们已经发现并命名了...
評分低级生物有些超越我们想象的极端环境造就的适应能力,生命条件由环境影响,高温高压,严寒也有生命存在。极端环境成就极端条件下的生命,环境成就生命,环境成就了天才,生物圈是一环扣一环的复杂系统,只有合适的土壤才能让生物蓬勃发展,必须有基本的数量才能维持物种的延续...
評分爱德华·威尔逊被我们这个时代称为最后一位博物学家。他的自传《大自然的猎人》,让我们结识了一位对生命的未来满怀忧虑与期望的生物学家。威尔逊倡导生物多样性对于我们唯一的家园——地球的重要性,在其学术生涯之外为拯救地球生命而多方奔走。他对我们的地球现状和未来有着...
評分开头致梭罗的信,读得我差点放弃。特别是梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》是我列单“读了几页便放弃的书”中,印象最深刻的一本书。 但幸好没有放弃。 这本读起来总体比较轻松的书,其实厚度非凡。完全可以体现出作者思想的纵深。这是我目前还很少有过的读后感(当然因为我读书少)。为什么...
評分在很偶尔的机会,遇到了威尔逊 写的《生命的未来》,读,悲,思,转而,痛! 读《瓦尔登湖》很多遍,当发现此书的开篇在讲瓦尔登湖周边的生态变化,那样把梦境打碎的痛,骤然心头的感觉,未必每个人都能理解,但,痛致心坎! 现时背景下的我们,走的太快,以致于来不及思考,...
