Magic takes many forms. Supernatural magic is what our ancestors used in order to explain the world before they developed the scientific method. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting the goddess Nut swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods' bridge to earth. The Japanese used to explain earthquakes by conjuring a gigantic catfish that carried the world on its back—earthquakes occurred each time it flipped its tail. These are magical, extraordinary tales. But there is another kind of magic, and it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality—science.

Packed with clever thought experiments, dazzling illustrations and jaw-dropping facts, The Magic of Reality explains a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? Why do the continents look like disconnected pieces of a puzzle? What causes tsunamis? Why are there so many kinds of plants and animals? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, graphic detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist as well.

Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous evolutionary biologist and one of science education's most passionate advocates, has spent his career elucidating the wonders of science for adult readers. But now, in a dramatic departure, he has teamed up with acclaimed artist Dave McKean and used his unrivaled explanatory powers to share the magic of science with readers of all ages. This is a treasure trove for anyone who has ever wondered how the world works. Dawkins and McKean have created an illustrated guide to the secrets of our world—and the universe beyond—that will entertain and inform for years to come.

最近看了不少科普的书,科学真的有趣,基本上是有逻辑可言,一脉相承,即使是不同的书,时空旅行的,量子力学的,不管是物理化学还是生物,都有一种神奇但确认的美感。 看多了就觉得,身边的事情没有那么繁杂了,一切都按照那个永恒的宇宙定律旋转着,似乎烦恼也没有那么多了。...

《自然的魔法》融合了清晰的思想实验、眼花缭乱的插图和稀奇古怪的事实,解释了奇异多彩的自然现象。物质是什么构成的?宇宙有多老?为什么大地像零碎的拼图?海啸是怎么来的?为什么有那么多动物和植物?第一个人是谁?这是一本令人爱不释手的图解探秘故事,它不仅从各门...

被称为全球最会讲故事的科普作家道金斯这本薄薄的图文并茂印刷精良的《自然的魔法》到手的时候,我很诧异,原本以为是枯燥科学著作的我,发现不但亲和力强,甚至可以带着孩子一起阅读。副标题“我们怎么知道什么是真的”十分具有哲学思辨性,也是本书提出的第一个问题“实在是...

原理簡單,類比巧妙,推理縝密,語言生動。更難得的是道金斯親自朗讀有聲書,誰不愛聽老爺爺講科學呢?蓋茨在2012年推薦這本書,但評價說沒有講到量子力學很遺憾。其實道金斯在書中講到過,量子力學並非自己專長所以不宜多講。全書反復講到的主題就是:科學傢知道自己不知道什麼。這真的比那些全知全能的神話故事酷多瞭。
