具體描述
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.
著者簡介
愛德華·威爾遜(Edward O．Wilson)，1929年生於美國阿拉巴馬州伯明翰，1949年畢業於阿拉巴馬大學，1955年獲哈佛大學生物學博士學位，同年開始在哈佛大學執教。目前，他任教於佩萊格裏諾大學(Unuversnty of Pellegrino)，並為哈佛大學的昆蟲學研究員。
威爾遜是當今美國生物學翹楚。他於1969年當選為美國國傢科學院院士，獲過全世界最高的環境生物學奬項，包括美國的國傢科學奬、瑞典皇傢科學院頒發的剋拉負德奬(Craford Prize)。1996年，威爾遜被《時代》雜誌評為對當代美國影響最大的25位美國人之一。
威爾遜擅長著述，曾以《論人性》(On Human Nature)和《螞蟻》(The Ant)兩度獲普利策奬。

讀後感
《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...
評分买这本书源于一个误会。读过《植物猎人》，很佩服去中国西部考察和采集植物的欧内斯特 亨利 威尔逊(Ernest Henry Wilson),豆瓣上看到了某个豆列里有本书，还是介绍生物学家威尔逊，以为是一个人，没想到这部书介绍的是另一个威尔逊，研究蚂蚁的爱德华 威尔逊。 这本书2011年9月...
評分60年代，年龄相仿的威尔逊和沃森同年开始担任哈佛生物系的助理教授。面对沃森带领的分子生物学家们鲁莽的异军突起，“古典生物学”家们当时憋屈、不满而无奈的状态，以及哈佛生物系当时剑拔弩张的气氛，被威尔逊写得让人如临其境！ “生物实验大楼的分子生物学家及细胞生物学...
評分人在成年之后，就早已遗忘了 青少年的心情多么容易坠落于郁闷的深渊 他们老师低估心智中白日梦和无目的的闲逛之际 所获得的成长空间 威尔逊对于童年往事的记忆犹新 娓娓道来 美好的童年就仿佛像画卷般展现在大家面前
評分因为本书文字的优美简单，这本书已经进入尾声了。预计本周2之前可以读完，开始一本新书。ps：我昨天开始读今天中午读完了新垣平博士的《剑桥倚天屠龙史》。今日北京遭遇豪雨，我又没什么好电影看，正好有时间读书。 本书第14章 佛罗里达珊瑚群岛实验 自236页...
