A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest. In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one- square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, "The Forest Unseen" is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.
戴維•哈斯凱爾的研究與教學工作主要涉及生物進化和動物保護,尤其是對棲息於森林裏的鳥類和無脊椎動物的保護。除瞭發錶許多科研文章外,他還發錶瞭數篇關於科學與自然的隨筆和詩歌。哈斯凱爾因其創造性地將科學探索、冥想練習和社區行動結閤起來而獲得瞭全國關注。2009年,卡耐基基金會、凱斯基金會將他命名為田納西年度教授,該奬項隻授予獲得國傢榮譽或對大學教育做齣突齣貢獻的大學教授。“牛津美國”將他列入2011年美國南部最具創意的老師。他現在是南方大學的生物教授,生物學係主任,美國南部大學聯盟環保研究員。

評分『我对这片树林还不算熟悉,它在植物园的最北面,先翻过一座山,再跟着一条野路走几公里,之后路就消失了,像一个人不打招呼就离开,我还记得第一次走到那里时的无所适从,但我并没有原路返回,有些人会这样,他们走路,也许怀着某种期待,但是期待落空的时候,却依然决定要前...

評分书名大概会予人这样的印象:这是一本自然观察笔记。其实大不然。 前言里,作者自叙本书的缘起是想从生物学家的视野回应人类文化中种种以小见大的努力,诸如西藏的曼陀罗或布莱尔的“一沙一世界”;实现的手法则是在一片老林子里选定一平米大小的一块土地,在一年的时间内反复...
博客來推介瞭讀者新書,就去看瞭下這本前作。貫穿四季,每章把各種生物學知識點生動有趣地有機串聯,從鞦日落葉講到蝸牛到掩護色到色盲...再點齣主題。好讀又漲知識。學識淵博又能把知識和道理傳達好並控製住煽情或抖機靈的,並不容易啊!
