The Beauty of the Beastly pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Natalie Angier knows all that scientists know - and sometimes more - about the power of symmetry in sexual relations, about the brutal courting habits of dolphins, about the grand deceit of orchids, about the impact of female and male preferences on evolution. She knows how scientists go about their work, and she describes their ways, their visions, and their arguments. Perhaps most poignantly, she understands the complexities and the sad necessity of death. "The beauty of the natural world lies in the details, and most of those details are not the stuff of calendar art," she points out. Few writers have ever covered so many facets of biology so evocatively in one book. The Beauty of the Beastly tells us how the genius of the biological universe resides in its details and proves why, according to Timothy Ferris, author of the acclaimed Coming of Age in the Milky Way, Angier is "one of the strongest and wittiest science writers in the world today."

納塔莉・安吉爾:《紐約時報》科普專欄作傢,她把創造性和無窮探索的精神與機智幽默的文學風格結閤起來,對大自然和生命本質進行深刻考察和思索,對人類最新科學成就進行通俗而又妙趣橫生的綜述。其傑齣成就使她獲得瞭新聞及科普文學的最高奬項――普利策奬、劉易斯・托馬斯奬和美國科學進步協會奬。本書是其最為人所稱道的代錶作,在美國暢銷不衰。

評分作为普利策桂冠作家,纳塔莉的文笔是优美的,在大多数章节,她化繁为简,深入浅出,生动形象地解读了生命的奥秘,她的解读既有"动物世界"般的描述与展示,又有科学性、社会层面的推断与反思,这是难能可贵的。 但纳塔莉的强项却并不在分子生物学,作为主修生物专业的学生,我...

評分本书译者为导读选择的标题为:天地有大美而不言,对此,我稍有异议。自然造物奇妙无比,吸引着有好奇心的人不停探索,可其中体现是否全部是美,这涉及美的内涵,千百年来尚争论不休,我不敢妄下断言。如果我是译者,可能更愿选择的题目是:天公造物,妙在无言。人类在神...
