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。

本书有二路叙事线索。 一路在野外,作者与意趣相投的同学和志同道合的伙伴,进行“惊险”的博物探究与科学考察; 另一路在哈佛生物系大楼内,同僚间的学术观点与声望上的“明争暗斗” ------ 你千万不要以为这是个贬义词,至少威尔逊本人不这么看。他引用密尔的话“当旷野中没...

评分谈起生物学家E. O. 威尔逊,很多人想到的是博物学家、进化生物学家、社会生物学家此类非同凡响的身份标签,或是《蚂蚁》这样厚砖头般的著作,抑或《社会生物学——新的综合》这样引起争论的作品。中国读者更为熟悉的,可能是其《缤纷的生命》《生命的未来》等作。然而,很多人...
评分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...

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.

评分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.
