还是读英文版为妙。中文译者水平波动甚大,连英语原文都有拼错,也不知道是怎么做到的。
评分进化论方面的一部科普读物,虽然不错,但是很多理论并无新意。
评分Dawkins 的东西质量还是有保证。看过了他的God Delusion,觉得讲得很透,逻辑严密。结果再看这本还是有收获。
评分这本书就是纯为八卦而看了。

Richard Dawkins is a world-renowned evolutionary biologist and author. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and,until recently, held the Charles Simonyi Chair of Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. His first book, The Selfish Gene, was an instant international bestseller, and has become an established classic work of modern evolutionary biology. He is also the author of The Blind Watchmaker, River Out of Eden, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil's Chaplain, The Ancestor's Tale, and most recently, The God Delusion.
In 2008, a Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Americans believed God had created man in his present form within the last 10,000 years. In a Pew Forum poll in the same year, 42 percent believed that all life on earth has existed in its present form since the beginning of time. In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species , shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task. The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument." Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection." The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.
地球上最伟大的表演,理查德·道金斯,中信出版股份有限公司 这本书看似只是阐述和证明进化论,但其实,它是在探讨科学和信仰。字里行间,作者都试图用极其严密的逻辑来阐明为何进化论是值得信赖的,而宗教是如何反进化论的。由作者看来,宗教赫然站立在了科学的对立面。宗教...
评分道金斯《地球上最伟大的表演》这本书,讲的是演化论无处不在、蔚为壮观的证据。演化论在我国是义务教育就普及的知识,但背后硬核证据,却提及不多。种种怀疑,民间并不罕见。本书用丰富的证据,雄辩的逻辑证明,多姿多彩的自然界,绝不是某种高高在上的大能设计师设计的,而是...
评分这本书完全是当作一本科普书而读的,作者围绕进化是一个无可回避的事实而进行探讨。 它分以下几个目录: 第一章 只是一个理论? 第二章 狗,牛和白菜 第三章 报春花的宏进化之路 第四章 安静与缓慢的时间 第五章 就发生在我们眼前 第六章 缺失的环...
评分可能是阅读倾向的问题,对我来说这本书相比《自私的基因》可读性要高的多——虽然是接近30W字的长篇幅科普读物,读起来却非常顺畅,连作者的零星的幽默感我也很好的get√了。 个人觉得良好的阅读感不光来自作者成熟的写作风格,更多是得益于作者良好的逻辑思维能力,在对神创论...
