具体描述
InNaturalist, Wilson describes for the first time both
his growth as a scientist and the evolution of the science
he has helped def ine. He traces the trajectory of
his life—from a childhood spent exploring the Gulf
oast of Alabama and Florida to life as a tenured
professor at Harvard—detailing how his youthful
fascination with nature blossomed into a lifelong
calling. He recounts with drama and wit the adventures
of his days as a student at the University of
Alabama and his four decades at Harvard University,
where he has achieved renown as both teacher and researcher.
As the narrative of Wilson's life unfolds, the reader is treated to an
inside look at the origin and development of ideas that guide today's
biological research. Theories that are now widely accepted in the scientific
world were once untested hypotheses emerging from one man's
broad-gauged studies. Throughout Naturalist, we see Wilson's mind
and energies constantly striving to help establish many of the central
principles of the field of evolutionary biology.
The story of Wilson's life provides fascinating insights into the making
of a scientist, and a valuable look at some of the most thought-provoking
ideas of our time.
作者简介
爱德华·威尔逊(Edward O．Wilson)，1929年生于美国阿拉巴马州伯明翰，1949年毕业于阿拉巴马大学，1955年获哈佛大学生物学博士学位，同年开始在哈佛大学执教。目前，他任教于佩莱格里诺大学(Unuversnty of Pellegrino)，并为哈佛大学的昆虫学研究员。
威尔逊是当今美国生物学翘楚。他于1969年当选为美国国家科学院院士，获过全世界最高的环境生物学奖项，包括美国的国家科学奖、瑞典皇家科学院颁发的克拉负德奖(Craford Prize)。1996年，威尔逊被《时代》杂志评为对当代美国影响最大的25位美国人之一。
威尔逊擅长著述，曾以《论人性》(On Human Nature)和《蚂蚁》(The Ant)两度获普利策奖。

评分本书有二路叙事线索。 一路在野外，作者与意趣相投的同学和志同道合的伙伴，进行“惊险”的博物探究与科学考察； 另一路在哈佛生物系大楼内，同僚间的学术观点与声望上的“明争暗斗” ------ 你千万不要以为这是个贬义词，至少威尔逊本人不这么看。他引用密尔的话“当旷野中没...
评分《大自然的猎人》是博物学家爱德华·威尔逊（1929—）的自传，初版问世于1994年。那一年，威尔逊获得了佩莱格里诺教职，那是哈佛大学仅15个全校教职之一，目的是保证教学达到的广度。新近的中文版封面上，威尔逊拈起一只昆虫，凑近眼前，仔细观察。我以为这是在表达科学家的专...
评分Dava Sobel 曾向年轻的读者推荐这本书。她说：威尔逊（E. O. Wilson）的《大自然的猎人》（Naturalist, Island出版社，1994年）——作为成年人我也非常喜欢读这本书，在阅读的过程中我记得自己一直在想：它会怎样地激发年轻人选择投身于科学事业。 不过译文质量一般，港台腔有...
