The classic that exploded into public controversy, revolutionized the course of science, and continues to transform our views of the world.
The famous classic on evolution that revolutionized the course of science. Darwin's theory that species derive from other species by a gradual evolutionary process and that the average age level of each species is heightened by the "survival of the fittest" stirred popular debate of his time to a fever pitch. "Next to the Bible, no work has been quite as influential."--Ashley Montagu.
Charles Darwin, a British naturalist, geologist, biologist, and author, revolutionized the science of biology by developing the theory of evolution by natural selection. Among his important works are On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man. A journal that he kept during a five-year journey on the HMS Beagle eventually was published as The Voyage of the Beagle. A highly respected and enthusiastic audiobook narrator, David Case specialized in creating unique and interesting character voices. AudioFile magazine named him a Golden Voice, writing after he died in 2005 that "David's cultured British voice, his flair for accents and dialects, and his comedic timing made him one of the industry's most sought-after narrators." He narrated over 700 audiobooks. In one of his last interviews, David said, "I really believe I was born to record audiobooks." Fans everywhere tend to agree.
生活中似是而非的东西还少吗?知识爆炸的年头,人们反而都不读书了,热衷于在网上寻找信息快餐。绝大多数人没有时间,更可能是没有意愿,阅读厚重的大书,所以越是伟大的思想,存在的误解越多,往往是来自对事物道听途说的人。甚至其他事情也一样,好象没有踏足印度的朋友告诫...
评分近來學習了一些關於進化論的書籍,略有些感想。最初,本人對進化論持有嚴重的懷疑,但反對一種自己並不了解的理論是一種很愚蠢的行為,於是本人開始學習進化論。學習之後,的確可以感受到這個理論的精巧與自洽。 然而,無論如何聲稱「進化」乃是一個事實,其機制,包括「自然...
评分读袁越写的“《物种起源》的起源”,对达尔文的生平有了新的认识,纠正了一个头脑中的印象。 感觉上,达尔文一辈子似乎都在远洋,南美,非洲,到处考察,搜集标本,科学研究。其实不是,达尔文20岁左右的时候,根本还不算一个科学研究者,跟着一个船队出航。 不属于工作,所以...
评分2009年是达尔文诞辰200周年、《物种起源》面世150周年。2012年10月,英国《新科学家》杂志公布了最具国际影响力的十大科普书籍的评选结果,《物种起源》排名第一,并被称为“有史以来最重要的思想”。《物种起源》问世以来,印行了无数次,翻译成30多种语言,可见其传...
评分最初接到《物种起源》的编辑任务时,心中不是没有疑问的:“这本毫无新鲜感的‘老书’,国内有那么多译本,还有必要重新出版吗?”当获悉该书是我们的副社长和其他编辑人员几经周折,终于请到著名的古生物学家苗德岁执笔翻译时,我的疑问更是加深了。然而在经过一系列编...
