How does life work? How does nature produce the right numbers of zebras and lions on the African savanna, or fish in the ocean? How do our bodies produce the right numbers of cells in our organs and bloodstream? In The Serengeti Rules, award-winning biologist and author Sean Carroll tells the stories of the pioneering scientists who sought the answers to such simple yet profoundly important questions, and shows how their discoveries matter for our health and the health of the planet we depend upon.

One of the most important revelations about the natural world is that everything is regulated--there are rules that regulate the amount of every molecule in our bodies and rules that govern the numbers of every animal and plant in the wild. And the most surprising revelation about the rules that regulate life at such different scales is that they are remarkably similar--there is a common underlying logic of life. Carroll recounts how our deep knowledge of the rules and logic of the human body has spurred the advent of revolutionary life-saving medicines, and makes the compelling case that it is now time to use the Serengeti Rules to heal our ailing planet.

A bold and inspiring synthesis by one of our most accomplished biologists and gifted storytellers, The Serengeti Rules is the first book to illuminate how life works at vastly different scales. Read it and you will never look at the world the same way again.

读这本书的时候我一直在回想初中高中时候学习生物的知识点,试图去抓取过去所学习的知识来去理解作者引用的案例(比如基因的表达,酶的作用等等)。虽然在读的过程中没有感受到书评中的“史诗性巨作”,“大师之作”,读这本书也是源于吴伯凡在冬吴同学会中的推荐,但还是有一...

本书的内容对没有接触过生物的文科生来说,有普及意义。但是对我们理科生,即使非生物专业,所述的知识大多属于常识性内容,系统性回顾和补充一下而已,哲学思辨上也未有令人眼前一亮的启迪。故事倒是讲得不错。 这些生物普适的抑制,反馈抑制,再反馈抑制机制,生态系统研究得...

前几天看到一个纪录片。由于海冰融化,海象需要爬到八十米高的悬崖上寻找地方休息,在这个过程中很多海象不幸跌落悬崖摔死。我想人们可以轻而易举地将一个毫无戒心的人从二十楼(80米高)推下去,但是人们不会这么做,因为这是谋杀;人们再怎么努力也没有办法单靠力气把重一吨的海象从二十楼扔下去,但是通过剥夺栖息地可以。——这可以说是“一桩发生在遥远北极的谋杀案”吗?
