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."
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.

評分从微观的视角讲述宏观、宇宙的事。看的时候会特别惊叹于造物者的巧妙和精细,感觉我们的每一根头发、体内的每一个细胞其实都是活的,只是用我们不懂的语言在与我们交流。作者是生物学家,文笔有一种热爱自己专业之人的特有的幽默。就像很多音乐人觉得某段旋律、某个音节是可爱...
評分这是,我小时候读过的-【会误导人产生“超个体”这一科幻谬误的图书们之一】。 “超个体”-这个科幻,跟“盖亚”一样,不过只是,截止到1970年代时的-在生命科学和社会科学重叠部分们中的-借由诗意和更高度道德觉悟来进行的科学幻想们。辅助了且补充了生命科学和社会科学长期欠...
評分想当年,黑川纪章的“共生”思想流行。买了他的书读,没有读太懂,照猫画虎,设计课上,在房子边加了几棵树,牵强地解释自己的设计如何“天人合一”。 后来,读到老子的“天地不仁,以万物为刍狗”,听到木心先生说“天人合一,是人的一厢情愿”时,内心像被电击了似的,颤了好...
