图书描述

A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes

Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

I don't like the choice of words in this book yet this book is recommend by Bill Gates and takes approximately three hours to read. So why not?

评分☆☆☆☆☆

主题很吸引人，但讲起来很那做到平易近人，因为牵涉到太多专业背景知识。作者就像讲故事一样娓娓道来，读起来让人欲罢不能。非常好的一本科普读物。对于大灭绝，人总是站在统治者的位置上觉得这不能发生在自己身上，可是就像《三体》里说的，“死亡才是永恒的”。这个过程也许就是不可避免的，正所谓天道轮回。你都说不清如今这个状态究竟是这个必然过程中的一种表现方式还是人的自掘坟墓。

读了一个多月终于读完了。虽然如果有时间肯定是一气呵成。欲罢不能，文笔很好。看了一下，翻译版本也不错的。本来是当历史书看的，结果竟是故事书。
