愛德華·威爾遜(Edward O.Wilson),1929年生於美國阿拉巴馬州伯明翰,1949年畢業於阿拉巴馬大學,1955年獲哈佛大學生物學博士學位,同年開始在哈佛大學執教。目前,他任教於佩萊格裏諾大學(Unuversnty of Pellegrino),並為哈佛大學的昆蟲學研究員。
威爾遜是當今美國生物學翹楚。他於1969年當選為美國國傢科學院院士,獲過全世界最高的環境生物學奬項,包括美國的國傢科學奬、瑞典皇傢科學院頒發的剋拉負德奬(Craford Prize)。1996年,威爾遜被《時代》雜誌評為對當代美國影響最大的25位美國人之一。
威爾遜擅長著述,曾以《論人性》(On Human Nature)和《螞蟻》(The Ant)兩度獲普利策奬。
InNaturalist, Wilson describes for the first time both
his growth as a scientist and the evolution of the science
he has helped def ine. He traces the trajectory of
his life—from a childhood spent exploring the Gulf
oast of Alabama and Florida to life as a tenured
professor at Harvard—detailing how his youthful
fascination with nature blossomed into a lifelong
calling. He recounts with drama and wit the adventures
of his days as a student at the University of
Alabama and his four decades at Harvard University,
where he has achieved renown as both teacher and researcher.
As the narrative of Wilson's life unfolds, the reader is treated to an
inside look at the origin and development of ideas that guide today's
biological research. Theories that are now widely accepted in the scientific
world were once untested hypotheses emerging from one man's
broad-gauged studies. Throughout Naturalist, we see Wilson's mind
and energies constantly striving to help establish many of the central
principles of the field of evolutionary biology.
The story of Wilson's life provides fascinating insights into the making
of a scientist, and a valuable look at some of the most thought-provoking
ideas of our time.
本书有二路叙事线索。 一路在野外,作者与意趣相投的同学和志同道合的伙伴,进行“惊险”的博物探究与科学考察; 另一路在哈佛生物系大楼内,同僚间的学术观点与声望上的“明争暗斗” ------ 你千万不要以为这是个贬义词,至少威尔逊本人不这么看。他引用密尔的话“当旷野中没...
評分看生物类的书,和看discovery、动物世界、cctv9等电视相得益彰,纯粹是出于对动植物的好奇和爱好。比如看李元胜的昆虫摄影集,就可以了解昆虫究竟长什么样子,和大型动物相比有不一样的美。到后来开始看《动物的情感世界》、《狗智慧》等书,就接触到了一些分析动物行为的知识...
評分哲学上有两个很有趣的称谓,一个是“巴甫洛夫的狗”,另一个是“薛定谔的猫”,源于众所周知的实验。而你如果读过《大自然的猎人》,会很自然地想到“威尔逊的蚂蚁”一词。 威尔逊被称为是我们这个时代最后一位博物学家。我们知道,西方从十五世纪开始掀起一股博物学的热潮,这...
評分买这本书源于一个误会。读过《植物猎人》,很佩服去中国西部考察和采集植物的欧内斯特 亨利 威尔逊(Ernest Henry Wilson),豆瓣上看到了某个豆列里有本书,还是介绍生物学家威尔逊,以为是一个人,没想到这部书介绍的是另一个威尔逊,研究蚂蚁的爱德华 威尔逊。 这本书2011年9月...

评分finished it during my flight.somehow it reminded me of the languor of those golden afternoons in our upstate garden and the warm happiness watching birds by lake geneva..For the summer of 2018 I aspire to no higher goal than including lovely little books into a modest schedule.
