愛德華·威爾遜(Edward O.Wilson),1929年生於美國阿拉巴馬州伯明翰,1949年畢業於阿拉巴馬大學,1955年獲哈佛大學生物學博士學位,同年開始在哈佛大學執教。目前,他任教於佩萊格裏諾大學(Unuversnty of Pellegrino),並為哈佛大學的昆蟲學研究員。
威爾遜是當今美國生物學翹楚。他於1969年當選為美國國傢科學院院士,獲過全世界最高的環境生物學奬項,包括美國的國傢科學奬、瑞典皇傢科學院頒發的剋拉負德奬(Craford Prize)。1996年,威爾遜被《時代》雜誌評為對當代美國影響最大的25位美國人之一。
威爾遜擅長著述,曾以《論人性》(On Human Nature)和《螞蟻》(The Ant)兩度獲普利策奬。
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.

評分本書有二路敘事綫索。 一路在野外,作者與意趣相投的同學和誌同道閤的夥伴,進行“驚險”的博物探究與科學考察; 另一路在哈佛生物係大樓內,同僚間的學術觀點與聲望上的“明爭暗鬥” ------ 你韆萬不要以為這是個貶義詞,至少威爾遜本人不這麼看。他引用密爾的話“當曠野中沒...
評分已刊於《新京報 書評周刊》 很多人在童年都會說要當一名科學傢,但隻有極少數真的做到瞭,威爾遜就是其中之一。就像一種天命吧,威爾遜在童年時成為瞭一名小博物學傢,終其一生,曆經生物學領域發生翻天覆地的變化,到如今已經90多歲的他仍然是一名博物學傢,直到今年還在撰述...
評分成為一名博物學傢,一度是我的一個夢想,雖然我可能很大程度上沒有搞清楚博物學傢的含義,我隻是希望自己可以去田野中發現自己喜歡的花花草草,把他們移植到人類生活的環境中,為人類帶來美。 事實上這個動機是足矣支持我成為一名博物學傢的,隻可以我命運...
