The Knowledge pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

Dr. Lewis Dartnell is a research scientist at University of Leicester, currently holding fellowships for both research and science popularisation. After a first class degree in biology at the University of Oxford he completed a PhD in the field of astrobiology and the search for life beyond Earth. His work focuses on how microbial life, and signs of its existence, might survive the cosmic radiation in the dry dusty surface of Mars and what are the best ways to detect it.

Alongside his research, Lewis writes regularly about science and technology for New Scientist, BBC Focus, Cosmos, and national newspapers, has a monthly column in BBC Sky at Night magazine and has won several awards for his science writing. Lewis also presents frequent live events, including at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Institution, literary and science festivals around the world, and even music festivals and a cruise ship touring the Mediterranean. Lewis has also appeared on TV shows including BBC Horizon, Wonders of the Universe, live international news shows, and documentaries on Discovery, History, and NOVA channels.

Lewis’ first book, Life in the Universe: A Beginner’s Guide was published in 2007 by OneWorld Publications, and he has also published an illustrated children’s book My Tourist’s Guide to the Solar System and Beyond with Dorling Kindersley (2012).


The Knowledge pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

If our technological society collapsed tomorrow, perhaps from a viral pandemic or catastrophic asteroid impact, what would be the one book you would want to press into the hands of the postapocalyptic survivors? What crucial knowledge would they need to survive in the immediate aftermath and to rebuild civilization as quickly as possible—a guide for rebooting the world?

Human knowledge is collective, distributed across the population. It has built on itself for centuries, becoming vast and increasingly specialized. Most of us are ignorant about the fundamental principles of the civilization that supports us, happily utilizing the latest—or even the most basic—technology without having the slightest idea of why it works or how it came to be. If you had to go back to absolute basics, like some sort of postcataclysmic Robinson Crusoe, would you know how to re-create an internal combustion engine, put together a microscope, get metals out of rock, accurately tell time, weave fibers into clothing, or even how to produce food for yourself?

Regarded as one of the brightest young scientists of his generation, Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. Every piece of technology rests on an enormous support network of other technologies, all interlinked and mutually dependent. You can’t hope to build a radio, for example, without understanding how to acquire the raw materials it requires, as well as generate the electricity needed to run it. But Dartnell doesn’t just provide specific information for starting over; he also reveals the greatest invention of them all—the phenomenal knowledge-generating machine that is the scientific method itself. This would allow survivors to learn technological advances not explicitly explored in The Knowledge as well as things we have yet to discover.

The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world as well as a thought experiment about the very idea of scientific knowledge itself.

The Knowledge pdf epub mobi 讀後感

評分

1月30日開始讀這本書,知道它是因為“得到”推薦。當然,世界末日的解題思路也非常吸引人。當然,讀完本書,可能更多地是驚嘆於人類的科技和其發展的曆史,對末日的恐慌卻沒有那麼關注瞭。 [世界重啓] 我讀這本書的情感反應路綫如下。1,恐懼。原來世界末日到來以後會這樣?現...  

評分

喜歡通識,或者喜歡科學,或者喜歡科幻、尤其是硬科幻的讀者,應該要讀讀這本書。當然這顯然不是一本科幻小說。 本書源於一場思維實驗——假如末日過後,幸存者該如何重啓文明? 單說腦洞,其實也不大,科幻巨擘大劉曾說,“科幻小說中的末世題材,就像主流文學中的愛情題材一...

大災難過後的你我應該怎麼做?-評《世界重啓》 文/信實的精靈 寫作這文之前,我問瞭旁邊的S先生一個問題,“假如把你一個人扔到火星上麵,請問你怎麼活下來?”這句話是問他的,同時也可以問問我自己,“我行嗎?我該如何活下來...  

評分

當你坐在電影院裏看著諸如《生化危機》這樣的好萊塢大片時,有沒有想過有一天當我們真的突然間失去瞭秩序與聯係,無數人在地球的毀滅中化為灰燼亦或是變成“僵屍”,而你恰好就是少數的幸存者。麵對這令人絕望又沮喪的一切,你會怎麼做? 如果沒有看過路易斯的《世界重啓》而...

評分

如果真正有世界重啓的那一天,那麼作為獨立的個體想要遵循書中的內容快速重建文明社會基本不可能實現,人畢竟是社會動物,分工協作仍然是唯一的選擇,另外本書隻是提供瞭恢復原有文明的指南,重啓之後世界有可能完全朝著現有人類無法理解的方嚮高速發展,蒸汽朋剋有可能實現,...
