极其简单的科普,涵盖了病毒研究中的重要分支:测序考古,疫情控制,生化反应及免疫调控。还有些新近的病毒学研究进展,以及全书特别注重病毒与人类和生物进化方面的思考。 总体上衔接高中和专业课一年级水平,实验方法少,数据少,电镜照倒不少。 大方向上把握比较准确,虽然第二版也是2015写的,但也涵盖了非典,中东,埃博拉,牛瘟等等,也写了些冠状病毒族的预言
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...
评分这段时间,继续看完病毒系列。书过了一遍后,觉得其中三个章节里,能总结出一些有趣的结论,特分享: The Uncommon Cold 章节: 1. 感冒病毒也称为“鼻腔病毒”,其结构非常简单,只有大概10个基因。让人感到头晕、发烧不是病毒引起的,而是人体的免疫系统引起的。 2. 感冒病毒...
评分新冠肺炎疫情还在持续,我们大部分人都处在自我隔离中,身体的禁锢以及每天超负荷的信息轰炸,都在加重我们的焦虑与不安。但焦虑和不安带来的另一面是,它使我们开始反思:也许通过科学知识去反思,这段时间以来,我们看到科学常识的匮乏使得我们如此地偏见与狭隘;抑或通过历...
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《...
