InNaturalist, Wilson describes for the first time both
his growth as a scientist and the evolution of the science
he has helped def ine. He traces the trajectory of
his life—from a childhood spent exploring the Gulf
oast of Alabama and Florida to life as a tenured
professor at Harvard—detailing how his youthful
fascination with nature blossomed into a lifelong
calling. He recounts with drama and wit the adventures
of his days as a student at the University of
Alabama and his four decades at Harvard University,
where he has achieved renown as both teacher and researcher.
As the narrative of Wilson's life unfolds, the reader is treated to an
inside look at the origin and development of ideas that guide today's
biological research. Theories that are now widely accepted in the scientific
world were once untested hypotheses emerging from one man's
broad-gauged studies. Throughout Naturalist, we see Wilson's mind
and energies constantly striving to help establish many of the central
principles of the field of evolutionary biology.
The story of Wilson's life provides fascinating insights into the making
of a scientist, and a valuable look at some of the most thought-provoking
ideas of our time.
作者简介 · · · · · ·
爱德华·威尔逊(Edward O. Wilson)
1929年出生于美国亚拉巴马州,成长于当地小镇莫比尔。
他在一次钓鱼的事故中失去了右眼的视力,但健全的左眼更让他专注于细小事物。
1947年进入阿拉巴马大学生物学系,专攻昆虫学。
后转入哈佛,探访西太平洋群岛等地,掌握完整的蚂蚁生态分布图谱。
他以杰出的科学成就,引发了20世纪生物学的数次革命:
他与麦克阿瑟共同提出岛屿生物地理学理论,奠定现代物种保护的理论基础;
创建“社会生物学”这一新学科,让美国生物学界和普通大众为之震动;
“生物多样性”概念由他倡导,成为影响全球的环保理念。
威尔逊退休后致力于人文科学写作,从科学中寻找哲学写作的养料。
《自然》杂志评价他“既是世界的科学家,也是伟大的写作者”,他的《蚂蚁》和《论人性》曾两度获普利策奖。

《大自然的猎人》:也是生物学家,也是小男孩
当旷野中没有敌人时,老师和弟子都会昏睡在岗哨上
不错的书,就是译文有点港台腔
