The eminent Harvard naturalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Wilson marshals all the prodigious powers of his intellect and imagination in this impassioned call to ensure the future of life. Opening with an imagined conversation with Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond, he writes that he has come "to explain to you, and in reality to others and not least to myself, what has happened to the world we both have loved." Based on a love affair with the natural world that spans 70 years, Wilson combines lyrical descriptions with dire warnings and remarkable stories of flora and fauna on the edge of extinction with hard economics. How many species are we really losing? Is environmentalism truly contrary to economic development? And how can we save the planet? Wilson has penned an eloquent plea for the need for a global land ethic and offers the strategies necessary to ensure life on earth based on foresight, moral courage, and the best tools that science and technology can provide.

评分开头致梭罗的信,读得我差点放弃。特别是梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》是我列单“读了几页便放弃的书”中,印象最深刻的一本书。 但幸好没有放弃。 这本读起来总体比较轻松的书,其实厚度非凡。完全可以体现出作者思想的纵深。这是我目前还很少有过的读后感(当然因为我读书少)。为什么...
评分 评分开始静下心来读这本书的当天下着小雨,坐在古筝班外大堂的扶手椅里,大堂天井三层楼高,声声古筝音如流水,悦耳清心,遂找了个最舒服的姿势开始阅读。 《生命的未来》首先在装帧上看着就很美,腰封上的蓝色蝴蝶让人未忍心丢弃,取下折了做书签用。接着翻了内封,发现和外封一...
