A Feeling for the Organism, 10th Aniversary Edittion pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
For much of her life she worked alone, brilliant but eccentric, with ideas that made little sense to her colleagues. Yet before DNA and the molecular revolution, Barbara McClintock's tireless analysis of corn led her to uncover some of the deepest, most intricate secrets of genetic organization. Nearly forty years later, her insights would bring her a MacArthur Foundation grant, the Nobel Prize, and long overdue recognition. At her recent death at age 90, she was widely acknowledged as one of the most significant figures in 20th-century science. Evelyn Fox Keller's acclaimed biography, "A Feeling for the Organism," gives us the full story of McClintock's pioneering--although sometimes professionally difficult--career in cytology and genetics. The book now appears in a special edition marking the 10th anniversary of its original publication.
McClintock实现了我设想的“构筑关于植物生命与生活史更为立体全面的知识网络”!激动!| 注:第11章里的adaptation用的是拉马克的意思|Keller后来有惋惜说许多人对这部传记作女性主义立场的解读。我觉得McClintock这个例子最有趣的地方在于,在经典基因理论与分子基因理论的交互下——转座子被发现的历史以及从基因到基因组学到底有哪些科学认识在发生变化。
评分传奇女性的一生。献身科研,终生未嫁。在玉米地里,她找到了一生的激情。据说她可以分辨出每一株玉米的不同——这是什么境界?借用一句武侠小说里的套话:她跟玉米已经达到合而为一的境界。若非如此,又怎能窥见自然界的那一线奥秘?
