A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest
Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Biologist David George Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Beginning with simple observations—a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter, the first blossom of spring wildflowers—Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology, ecology, and poetry, explaining the science binding together ecosystems that have cycled for thousands—sometimes millions—of years.
David George Haskell is a professor of biology at the University of the South and was named the Carnegie-CASE Professor of the Year in Tennessee in 2009. In addition to his scholarly work, he has published essays and poetry. He lives in Sewanee, Tennessee.

一沙一世界,一花一天堂。 推荐此书的原因只有一个,研究动植物的科学家没有那么感性的人文精神笔触,有优美文字能力的作家又没那么细致深入的科学研究。 此书去年就入手了,可惜每每翻两页就集中不了注意力了,有暴殄天物之觉而束回书架,此番被迫静养倒契机慢慢细读,竟进入...

評分夏日炎炎,当我躲进树荫里时,从来没有关心过头顶上的那片片树叶,也没曾在意过一起躲进树荫里的飞虫。我以为所有的叶子都是喜欢阳光的,身边的虫儿是来喝我的血的。谁曾想习惯了一缕阳光的叶子,是受不了骄阳拥抱的。那么多的阳光突然挤进来,叶子吃不下,会撑死的。那躲进树...
評分这本书写的太有趣了!作者透过观察“坛城”,一个直径一米的林中区域,以及坛城里的生命,窥见整个森林,正所谓一沙一世界,一花一天堂。作者的观察方式也很有趣,一年中多次到访,观察坛城的变化,尽量减少对自然的惊扰。这本书就是作者的观察日记,每一篇讲述一种生物或几种...
