Lewis Thomas was a physician, poet, etymologist, essayist, administrator, educator, policy advisor, and researcher. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Medical School, he was the dean of Yale Medical School and New York University School of Medicine, and the president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute. He wrote regularly in the New England Journal of Medicine, and his essays were published in several collections, including The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher, which won two National Book Awards and a Christopher Award, and The Medusa and the Snail, which won the National Book Award in Science. He died in 1993.
Elegant, suggestive, and clarifying, Lewis Thomas's profoundly humane vision explores the world around us and examines the complex interdependence of all things. Extending beyond the usual limitations of biological science and into a vast and wondrous world of hidden relationships, this provocative book explores in personal, poetic essays to topics such as computers, germs, language, music, death, insects, and medicine. Lewis Thomas writes, "Once you have become permanently startled, as I am, by the realization that we are a social species, you tend to keep an eye out for the pieces of evidence that this is, by and large, good for us."

評分——摘自 托马斯《细胞生命的礼赞》 细菌 看着电视,我们会认为,我们是在四伏的危机中作困兽斗,被追逐我们的细菌团切包围,之所以免于感染和死亡,那只是因为化学技术在护卫着我们,每时每刻在杀退众菌。我们得到的指导是把消毒剂到处喷洒,卧室要喷,厨房要喷,洗澡间...
評分中学阶段浅析的时政、经济和民主历史都会归纳在同一本《思想政治》中,于是大部分中国人在青少年三观形成的阶段就有了对”列克星敦第一枪“、”独立日宣言“和”玻利瓦尔“等词组的初步印象。由此,当书本翻到浓浓沙文主义情怀的历史案例那几页,总会蹦出三两个隔着雾也能看清...
