爱德华·威尔逊(Edward O.Wilson),1929年生于美国阿拉巴马州伯明翰,1949年毕业于阿拉巴马大学,1955年获哈佛大学生物学博士学位,同年开始在哈佛大学执教。目前,他任教于佩莱格里诺大学(Unuversnty of Pellegrino),并为哈佛大学的昆虫学研究员。
威尔逊是当今美国生物学翘楚。他于1969年当选为美国国家科学院院士,获过全世界最高的环境生物学奖项,包括美国的国家科学奖、瑞典皇家科学院颁发的克拉负德奖(Craford Prize)。1996年,威尔逊被《时代》杂志评为对当代美国影响最大的25位美国人之一。
威尔逊擅长著述,曾以《论人性》(On Human Nature)和《蚂蚁》(The Ant)两度获普利策奖。

哲学上有两个很有趣的称谓,一个是“巴甫洛夫的狗”,另一个是“薛定谔的猫”,源于众所周知的实验。而你如果读过《大自然的猎人》,会很自然地想到“威尔逊的蚂蚁”一词。 威尔逊被称为是我们这个时代最后一位博物学家。我们知道,西方从十五世纪开始掀起一股博物学的热潮,这...
评分Dava Sobel 曾向年轻的读者推荐这本书。她说:威尔逊(E. O. Wilson)的《大自然的猎人》(Naturalist, Island出版社,1994年)——作为成年人我也非常喜欢读这本书,在阅读的过程中我记得自己一直在想:它会怎样地激发年轻人选择投身于科学事业。 不过译文质量一般,港台腔有...
评分看生物类的书,和看discovery、动物世界、cctv9等电视相得益彰,纯粹是出于对动植物的好奇和爱好。比如看李元胜的昆虫摄影集,就可以了解昆虫究竟长什么样子,和大型动物相比有不一样的美。到后来开始看《动物的情感世界》、《狗智慧》等书,就接触到了一些分析动物行为的知识...
评分人在成年之后,就早已遗忘了 青少年的心情多么容易坠落于郁闷的深渊 他们老师低估心智中白日梦和无目的的闲逛之际 所获得的成长空间 威尔逊对于童年往事的记忆犹新 娓娓道来 美好的童年就仿佛像画卷般展现在大家面前
评分这2天读完了美国昆虫学家爱德华威尔逊的自传《大自然的猎人》。真好。厚厚的一本书,用了3天时间,每天一想到有这本书可以读,就格外高兴。(先前看他总是提起对蚂蚁的研究,翻出前一段看的《蚂蚁的故事》,啊,他竟然就是作者之一:爱德华·O·威尔逊是哈佛佩莱格里诺大学教授...

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.
finished it during my flight.somehow it reminded me of the languor of those golden afternoons in our upstate garden and the warm happiness watching birds by lake geneva..For the summer of 2018 I aspire to no higher goal than including lovely little books into a modest schedule.
