不單是科普書,更是一本讓普通人瞭解科學研究者在科研事業上的日常工作,艱辛,責任與熱情。令人敬仰
評分Although it is not easy to read because of the specialised terms, I can actually say that this book is an eye-opener, and it did broaden my horizon.
評分好看的!關鍵是雖然有一些專業詞語需要略查,總體語言相當plain,也無障礙順暢讀下來,第一次讀完一本非小說原版書。。。可能也是主題我比較感興趣

評分I don't like the choice of words in this book yet this book is recommend by Bill Gates and takes approximately three hours to read. So why not?
Elizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer at The New Yorker. She is the author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change. She lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with her husband and children.
A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes
Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

評分 評分近几个星期以来,一篇发表在《自然》杂志上的地质学论文在英国媒体上引起颇多讨论,两位英国科学家西蒙•路易斯(Simon Lewis)和马克•马斯林(Mark Maslin)用各种数据分析了一个以人类为主宰的地质年代:“人类世”(anthropocene)的起点问题,他们的结论是1610年最符合条件...
