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.
《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...
評分 評分小时候喜欢看中央台播放的《动物世界》,这档节目旨在向观众介绍大自然中的种种动植物,使观众足不出户就可以了解和认识地球上生存的各种生命,认识自然对人类的影响。它通过专家的讲述、优美的画面、感人的故事去告诉观众、打动观众,使观众认识到我们不能没有动物。的确,地...
評分开头致梭罗的信,读得我差点放弃。特别是梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》是我列单“读了几页便放弃的书”中,印象最深刻的一本书。 但幸好没有放弃。 这本读起来总体比较轻松的书,其实厚度非凡。完全可以体现出作者思想的纵深。这是我目前还很少有过的读后感(当然因为我读书少)。为什么...
評分EOW.. 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:-)
评分終於在兩個月不停加班的日子裏斷斷續續讀完瞭。馬剋一下,值得讀很多遍。Edward先生文筆流暢至極,字裏行間甚至亦有些小脾氣。中途讀到一個個令人絕望的數字,但結尾還是給人類留存瞭希望。生命的未來終究還是在於我們的倫理道德。
评分吃下去的東西要懂得反哺,明白沒,同學?!
