一個科學傢的心路曆程
評分其中內容大部分從其它渠道比如科學美國人瞭解瞭。所以所獲不多。
評分信息量比較大,一本書看瞭一個多月,中間總是停下來查各種概念性的問題,挺後悔沒有學理科的。刷新瞭我對記憶和學習的認知,作者說話的口氣,做事的態度非常喜歡!
評分好書好書,但是專業信息量有些過大,還得重讀,重讀。
評分讀過的最好的科普書
埃裏剋·坎德爾(Eric R.Kandel)1929年齣生於奧地利的維也納,1956年畢業於美國紐約大學,獲醫學博士學位。1983年至今任哥倫比亞大學生物化學與分子生物物理學係教授、霍華休斯醫學研究中心高級研究員。2000年獲諾貝爾生理學或醫學奬。
From Publishers Weekly
When, as a medical student in the 1950s, Kandel said he wanted to locate the ego and id in the brain, his mentor told him he was overreaching, that the brain had to be studied "cell by cell." After his initial dismay, Kandel took on the challenge and in 2000 was awarded a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research showing how memory is encoded in the brain's neuronal circuits. Kandel's journey into the brain spans five decades, beginning in the era of early research into the role of electrical currents flowing through neurons and ending in the age of genetic engineering. It took him from early studies of reflexes in the lowly squid to the founding of a bioengineering firm whose work could some day develop treatments for Alzheimer's and on to a rudimentary understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying mental illness. Kandel's life also took him on another journey: from Vienna, which his Jewish family fled after the Anschluss, to New York City and, decades later, on visits back to Vienna, where he boldly confronted Austria's unwillingness to look at its collusion in the Final Solution. For anyone considering a career in science, the early part of this intellectual autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of a scientist's formation: learning to trust his instincts on what research to pursue and how to pose a researchable question and formulate an experiment. Much of the science discussion is too dense for the average reader. But for anyone interested in the relationship between the mind and the brain, this is an important account of a creative and highly fruitful career. 50 b&w illus. (Mar.)

From Scientific American
Kandel, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000, traces advances in understanding learning and memory. His own groundbreaking findings showed that learning produces changes in behavior by modifying the strength of connections between nerve cells. He conveys his immense grasp of the science beautifully, but it is his personal recollections that make the book especially compelling. He begins with his searing childhood memories of the German annexation of Austria and his family’s escape to the U.S. when he was nine. And he ends with a conference he organized in Vienna to examine the strange reluctance of Austria (unlike Germany) to acknowledge its role in the Holocaust. One comes away in awe of the scientific advances—and of a life well and fully lived.

五年了。 在我提笔撰写这篇序言时,脑海里正经历着一次心理时间旅行,围绕本书翻译工作的种种记忆及情绪涌上心头。这些往事对我个人来说很有意义,却没必要与读者分享。作为一名把这本书通读过许多遍的“资深”读者,我试图站在读者的角度,分享这部笔酣墨饱之作的吸睛之处,并...
評分 評分这是我读过的最好的科普著作,等慢慢消化了再写个书评吧,先把几个勘误贴一下(整本书的翻译仍然是非常高质量的)。 P197倒数第二段。 译文:Watkins和Graham Collingridge发现在海马中谷氨酸充当两种受体:AMPA受体和NMDA受体,AMPA受体调节一般的突触传递并且在突触前神经元...
評分这本书的名字跟出了名难读的《追忆似水年华》太像了,以至于我鼓不起勇气读它。翻看它的介绍,发现体量巨大,正文455页,前言注释什么的100多页,这也是障碍之一。而且,书的副标题“新心智科学的开创历程”,也有拒人千里之功——它很像机场书店的书名。诺贝尔奖得主的名头为...
