去年12月,杂交水稻之父袁隆平培育出“海水稻”,一种可以在沿海滩涂和盐碱地上生长的水稻新品种——“海稻86”,试验推广成功,平均亩产达到300斤以上。不得不承认,倘若这种水稻能全面推广,在全世界的盐碱地种植,其意义不言而喻,而且“海水稻”不需施肥、抗病虫、耐盐碱的...
评分我看过最美的爱情故事,是《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》(1980/Raymond Carver)。 硬要说出原因,大抵是:平庸又普通(mediocre),单调又琐碎(monotony),悲哀又无奈(sorrow),然后,有点天真(naive),有点愚昧(ignorant)...... 但这恰恰是我最喜欢的地方,因为很...
评分想想橡子蕴含了多大的能量! 在泥土中埋入一颗橡子,它就会长成一棵巨大的橡树! 如果你埋的是一头羊,它只会慢慢腐烂。 ——萧伯纳(George Bernard Shaw), 《萧伯纳的素食食谱》(The Vegetarian Diet According to Shaw,1918) 我放下手里的锤子,凝视着这粒种子,没有一...
评分1.植物的种子本身是携带营养的,在种子成长的早期就不需要跟外界其他植物竞争养料了。 2.也因此,人类将谷物当成了主食。又因此,细菌随着谷物贸易传播造成了当年欧洲黑死病横行。 3.在保护自己方面,种子不仅有坚固的外壳,还有各种化学武器,比如辣椒素,咖啡因等,可以减少...
评分和梭罗一样,索尔·汉森痴迷于植物种子的诗意,前者借以言志的有信仰的种子,在汉森笔下更是成了“人生”赢家。《种子的胜利》流淌着对造物精妙的赞叹和对植物进化的讴歌,见证生命的顽强勃发着实令人欣喜。 尽管随生物学的飞速发展,种子已不像200年前那般神秘,汉森踏上探访...

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning coffee to the cotton in our clothes, seeds support diets, economies, lifestyles, and civilizations. In The Triumph of Seeds, award-winning conservation biologist Thor Hanson builds on his own triumph in Feathers—itself a masterwork of natural and cultural history—to explore seeds as both a natural phenomenon and a human one.
Spanning locations ranging from the Raccoon Lodge—Hanson’s backyard writing hideout-cum-laboratory—to the coffee plantations of the Amazon, from our flower patches and backyard gardens to the spice routes of Kerala, The Triumph of the Seeds is a book of knowledge, adventure, and wonder by an enchanting writer who embodies both the charm of stories told by the fireside at an old country store and the hard-won expertise of a professor of field biology. A worthy heir to the grand tradition of Aldo Leopold and Bernd Heinrich, this book is essential reading for anyone who loves to see a plant grow.
