图书描述

If you could bring back just one animal from the past, what would you choose? It can be anyone or anything from history, from the King of the Dinosaurs, T. rex, to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, and beyond.

De-extinction - the ability to bring extinct species back to life - is fast becoming reality. Around the globe, scientists are trying to de-extinct all manner of animals, including the woolly mammoth, the passenger pigeon and a bizarre species of flatulent frog. But de-extinction is more than just bringing back the dead. It's a science that can be used to save species, shape evolution and sculpt the future of life on our planet.

In Bring Back the King, scientist and comedy writer Helen Pilcher goes on a quest to identify the perfect de-extinction candidate. Along the way, she asks if Elvis could be recreated from the DNA inside a pickled wart, investigates whether it's possible to raise a pet dodo, and considers the odds of a 21st century Neanderthal turning heads on public transport.

Pondering the practicalities and the point of de-extinction, Bring Back the King is a witty and wry exploration of what is bound to become one of the hottest topics in conservation - if not in science as a whole - in the years to come. READ THIS BOOK - the King commands it.

Review

Science at its funniest! (Sara Pascoe, writer and comedian)

Leaping off the page are insights into many charismatic and neglected species, and the amazing humans who fight to preserve our future. This revolution will inspire our generation the way that voyages of the Beagle and Apollo have before it. (George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Director of PersonalGenomes.org)

A fluid and witty writer; up there with Bill Bryson. (Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, science commentator, author and presenter)

With humour and accuracy, Helen Pilcher surveys the wondrous array of wildlife de-extinction and preservation projects that employ current breakthroughs in genomic technology. (Plus Elvis, who was a different kind of wild.) (Stewart Brand, author of Whole Earth Discipline and co-founder of Revive & Restore)

Pilcher . asks provocative questions about both the nature of science and what it means to be human. (Publisher's Weekly)

著者简介

Helen Pilcher is a tea-drinking, biscuit-nibbling science and comedy writer. She has a PhD in Cell Biology from London's Institute of Psychiatry. A former reporter for Nature, she now specializes in biology, medicine and quirky off-the-wall science, and writes for outlets including New Scientist and BBC Focus. Unusually for a self-proclaimed geek, Helen also used to be a stand-up comedian before the arrival of children meant she couldn't physically stay awake past 9pm. She now gigs from time to time, and lives in rural Warwickshire with her husband, three kids and besotted dog.

对很多科幻影迷来说,电影《侏罗纪公园》带来的视觉震撼和情感冲击,可能并不会随时间的推移而消散。毕竟,面对那些硕大无朋的史前生物,因渺小无助而生出的恐惧,隔着屏幕照样能感同身受。当然,影片结束,这趟想象的旅程便宣告结束,观众重又回到日常生活,返归秩序和安全。...
