圖書描述

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.

聽有聲書聽完的，值得再細讀一遍。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

Enchanting descriptions about the trips and interesting people are the best part. Dying bats in caverns. Snorkeling amid coral reefs. Wading marshes to catch the amphibians.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

好的非虛構類寫作真的是透明的，讓人看不到作者的技巧和經營，讓我們專心的想：糟糕，地球要滅亡瞭。。。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

讀瞭一個多月終於讀完瞭。雖然如果有時間肯定是一氣嗬成。欲罷不能，文筆很好。看瞭一下，翻譯版本也不錯的。本來是當曆史書看的，結果竟是故事書。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

主題很吸引人，但講起來很那做到平易近人，因為牽涉到太多專業背景知識。作者就像講故事一樣娓娓道來，讀起來讓人欲罷不能。非常好的一本科普讀物。對於大滅絕，人總是站在統治者的位置上覺得這不能發生在自己身上，可是就像《三體》裏說的，“死亡纔是永恒的”。這個過程也許就是不可避免的，正所謂天道輪迴。你都說不清如今這個狀態究竟是這個必然過程中的一種錶現方式還是人的自掘墳墓。
