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.
评分讲病毒很好的科普小册子,看来没有病毒也不会有人类
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。
评分关于病毒的一百来页科普短篇,行文通俗易懂,当下阅读额外应景。
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.
据理查德·普雷斯顿的《血疫》一书改编的同名美剧正在热映,埃博拉病毒的威力,让人闻之色变。可是普雷斯顿推荐的《病毒星球》一书却让人爱不释手,黑色的封面上绘制着五彩缤纷的病毒,看上去萌萌的,不知情的还以为是天马行空的宇宙星辰呢。同是讲病毒,科普作家卡尔·齐默简...
评分最近读了《病毒星球》。会读这本书,大概是这段时间每天被疫情新闻轰炸出的好奇心吧。《病毒星球》作者是美国畅销科普作家、耶鲁大学分子生物学客座教授卡尔·齐默(Carl Zimmer),他用三个章节来讲述病毒的故事。他给这三个章节起的名字分别是:《老朋友》、《无处不在》和《...
评分书的第9章: 预测下一场瘟疫 Predicting the next Plague, 是关于SARS和埃博拉,中东呼吸热。书中写到:We can expct more viruses to sweep into our species, and they will probably come at an accelerating pace. Animals in remote parts of the world have harbored ex...
评分有意思的科普书,没看这本书之前对于病毒的印象只有来自高中生物书上的,病毒是DNA或RNA与蛋白质组成的非细胞生物,想到病毒就是致病病毒,往往谈病毒色变。所以看到作者在引言里说:“‘病毒’这个词也是自相矛盾。它承自罗马帝国,当时的意思是蛇的毒液或者人的精液。这一个...
