之前买了中文版的,这次趁着疫情找到了英文版的回头再温习。看完之后整个人平静了很多,我们每个人都只是这个时代洪流中的一个小分子,看了人类和病毒漫长的交战历史,人类大部分是输了的,some perhaps pure luck, 所以该怎么过还是怎么过吧,做好自己的部分就好了。 Don't panic, just grab your towel.
评分才一百多页的病毒星球在豆瓣阅读上竟然卖到三十多块,被逼着只能看原版了;介绍了烟草花叶病毒、人鼻病毒HRV,流感病毒,人乳头瘤病毒HPV,噬菌体,内源性逆转录病毒ERV,HIV,西尼罗河病毒,埃博拉病毒,SARS病毒,MERS病毒,天花病毒,巨型病毒(其中两个名字让人印象深刻: mamavirus和mimivirus)
评分As I write in 2015, scientist are looking at the next potential pandemics. It may take only a few mutations for a strain of bird flu to envolve into a new strain of human influenza virus. Reassortment could accelerate the change. No one can say when or if any particular strain will make the jump.
评分What If提到的。写作比较平淡,各种病毒的小史。
评分这本书真的太有趣了,书名是病毒星球,但是更像是简述人类研究病毒的历史,最让我称奇的是,我们的DNA里面竟然有这么多病毒的贡献,就连胎盘,我们作为哺乳动物的特征之一,竟然也是因为某种病毒偶然进入我们祖先体内才进化出来的?!太有趣了。里面免不了会提到HIV, Ebola, SARS, MERS, 病毒从别的物种跨越到人类很多次了,但看了这些旧病毒的进化优劣分析,还是会觉得我们现在面对的,可谓是真的怪物新病毒。
Carl Zimmer is a columnist for the New York Times, writes for National Geographic and other magazines, and is the author of thirteen books, including Parasite Rex, Soul Made Flesh, and Microcosm. He is also a lecturer at Yale University, where he teaches writing about science and the environment.
The past year has been one of viral panic – panic about viruses, that is. Through headlines, public health warnings, and at least one homemade hazmat suit, we were reminded of the powerful force of viruses. They are the smallest living things known to science, yet they can hold the entire planet in their sway.
A Planet of Viruses is Carl Zimmer's eye-opening look at the hidden world of viruses. Zimmer, the popular science writer and author of National Geographic's award-winning blog The Loom, has updated this edition to include the stories of new outbreaks, such as Ebola, MERS, and chikungunya virus; new scientific discoveries, such as a hundred-million-year-old virus that infected the common ancestor of armadillos, elephants, and humans; and new findings that show why climate change may lead to even deadlier outbreaks. Zimmer's lucid explanations and fascinating stories demonstrate how deeply humans and viruses are intertwined. Viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, are responsible for many of our most devastating diseases, and will continue to control our fate for centuries. Thoroughly readable, and as reassuring as it is frightening, A Planet of Viruses is a fascinating tour of a formidable hidden world.
“人鼻病毒可以训练我们的免疫系统,这样未来遇到一些小刺激时,免疫系统就不会过度反应,而可以养精蓄锐,去攻击那些真正的敌人。或许我们不该把感冒看成我们的老对手,而是一个常伴左右的明师。” 01 — 深入浅出的、有趣的科普。英文版2011年第一版,2015年第二版。书比较薄,正...
评分 评分一、病毒(Virus)名词的起源: “病毒”这个词是自相矛盾的,承自罗马帝国,当时的意思是蛇的毒液或者人的精液。它原本就包含了两面性,一面是能给予生命的物质,另一面则代表致命的毒液。病毒在某种意义上的确是致命的,但它们也赋予了这个世界必不可少的创造力。创造和毁灭...
