The eminent Harvard naturalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Wilson marshals all the prodigious powers of his intellect and imagination in this impassioned call to ensure the future of life. Opening with an imagined conversation with Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond, he writes that he has come "to explain to you, and in reality to others and not least to myself, what has happened to the world we both have loved." Based on a love affair with the natural world that spans 70 years, Wilson combines lyrical descriptions with dire warnings and remarkable stories of flora and fauna on the edge of extinction with hard economics. How many species are we really losing? Is environmentalism truly contrary to economic development? And how can we save the planet? Wilson has penned an eloquent plea for the need for a global land ethic and offers the strategies necessary to ensure life on earth based on foresight, moral courage, and the best tools that science and technology can provide.

评分爱德华.威尔逊无疑是一位值得令人尊重的先知。 在本书中,他发出这样的声音“生命的未来,在于野地保护,而不是濒危动物。”他用其广博的知识,让我们立足现在,关注真相;同时也给出来颇有意义,兼顾各方利益的建议。 为什么是野地? 威尔逊如是说。 尽管我们已经发现并命名了...
评分开始静下心来读这本书的当天下着小雨,坐在古筝班外大堂的扶手椅里,大堂天井三层楼高,声声古筝音如流水,悦耳清心,遂找了个最舒服的姿势开始阅读。 《生命的未来》首先在装帧上看着就很美,腰封上的蓝色蝴蝶让人未忍心丢弃,取下折了做书签用。接着翻了内封,发现和外封一...
评分当我们在关注娱乐、经济、法律、文学、宇宙时,另一批人则在操心着这颗星球上生物的命运。 美国博物学家爱德华·威尔逊通过一组组数据和大量案例,向读者展示了地球上的生命曾是如何的富丽多姿,而如今,物种数量正在世界各个角落悄无声息地骤然衰减。造成物种灭绝速率显著增加...
评分《生命的未来》,一篇越读越卑微、越读越无力的宣言,一曲悲伤与希望同行的牧歌。这是一部讲生态环保的社科著作,台版的翻译很流畅,至少让我感觉到在纸张和文字下掩藏着呼吸和灵魂。 小时候喜欢在田地里翻砖、挖洞、灌水抓蟋蟀,要么砖底下躺着几条粘乎乎的肥白蚰蜒、要么从...

His statement is clear and his logical frankness is apparent; I aim to read everything written by him; his mind is exceptionally brilliant; it is like a piece of steel, and I found it impossible to get it there and rub it out..What a fair morning! a day's work is done and I am ready for a slumber' lure:-)
