复习了一下中学的生化物数地知识,还了解了一点各类“学家”的八卦,顺便感慨一下我们的存在需要多么强大的机缘巧合,以及,依仗科学,是不是用基因决定论来忘记自由意志的价值观会让生活简单许多?
评分没空读-惭愧的说,但大三的时候还是把它的有声读物完整英文版听完了,Bill Bryson 的幽默是出名的,这本也不例外,还能将科普类讲的惟妙惟肖。他还有一本Neither Here Nor There 也很不错。
评分A funny, humble, informative read. I love how Bryson refers to famous scientists as if they were his pals or next door neighbours.

比尔·布莱森,享誉世界的旅游文学作家。1951年出生于美国艾奥瓦州,毕业于美国德雷克大学。从1973年起,曾在英国居住20年之久,任职于《泰晤士报》与《独立报》,同时也为《纽约时报》、《国家地理杂志》等刊物撰文。后搬回美国,现与妻子和四个小孩居住于新罕布什尔州的汉诺威市。
布莱森擅长用不同的眼光来看待他所游历的世界,在他的书里,英国式的睿智幽默与美国式的搞笑绝妙地融合在了一起。他的尖刻加上他的博学,让他的文字充满了幽默、机敏和智慧,使他自己成为“目前活在世上的最有趣的旅游文学作家”(《泰晤士报》)。
代表作有《哈!小不列颠》、《欧洲在发酵》、《一脚踩进小美国》、《别跟山过不去》、《请问这里是美国吗?》等多种,每本均高居美、英、加畅销书排行榜前列。其中《哈!小不列颠》更被英国读者推选为“最能深刻传达出英国灵魂的作品”。
作者不但才华横溢,兴趣亦十分广泛,在语言学方面著有《麻烦词汇词典》、《母语》、《美式英语》等书,皆为拥有广大拥趸的幽默之作。
Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller: but even when he stays safely in his own study at home, he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through time and space, he encounters a splendid collection of astonishingly eccentric, competitive, obsessive and foolish scientists, like the painfully shy Henry Cavendish who worked out many conundrums like how much the Earth weighed, but never bothered to tell anybody about many of his findings. In the company of such extraordinary people, Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye-opening journey, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.
生命是个奇迹,这或许不需要看过布莱森的《万物简史》才知道,构成每个人身体的原子,有可能有重叠的来源,不论是男女,不论是白人黑人,不论是亲戚,不论是敌人。从这一点上来说,生命真的是非常平等,平等得所有的构成都是几乎一模一样。从原子的角度来说,生不带来死不带走...

评分After reading the book, I know why Bill Bryson is called "English Master". He easily combines so many things into one book. Following his guidance, you travel from cosmos to human life without any abruptness. The transition from this scientist to that artis...
评分《万物简史》,我看完后一直觉得欠了笔账,应该写点什么才对的起作者,但苦于文笔拙劣,实在整理不出头绪来。今天看了大作标题,心中一阵兴奋,觉得可以搁笔了。看完后,又觉得还有意犹未尽之感,不避孤陋顺便发点意见。 我之喜欢该书,和小鱼同志相反,是看到作者本人的...
评分一 其实我们从小到大,一直都会讨论这个问题:我从哪里来?人类从哪里来?世界从哪里来?地球从哪里来?宇宙从哪里来? 这个认知的过程,是从小到大、由己及物的,向来以自己为中心,扩散出去,逐渐认识整个世界。 而《万物简史》这本书,是从大到小,从宇宙是什么说起,再...
