How does life work? How does nature produce the right numbers of zebras and lions on the African savanna, or fish in the ocean? How do our bodies produce the right numbers of cells in our organs and bloodstream? In The Serengeti Rules, award-winning biologist and author Sean Carroll tells the stories of the pioneering scientists who sought the answers to such simple yet profoundly important questions, and shows how their discoveries matter for our health and the health of the planet we depend upon.
One of the most important revelations about the natural world is that everything is regulated--there are rules that regulate the amount of every molecule in our bodies and rules that govern the numbers of every animal and plant in the wild. And the most surprising revelation about the rules that regulate life at such different scales is that they are remarkably similar--there is a common underlying logic of life. Carroll recounts how our deep knowledge of the rules and logic of the human body has spurred the advent of revolutionary life-saving medicines, and makes the compelling case that it is now time to use the Serengeti Rules to heal our ailing planet.
A bold and inspiring synthesis by one of our most accomplished biologists and gifted storytellers, The Serengeti Rules is the first book to illuminate how life works at vastly different scales. Read it and you will never look at the world the same way again.

《生命的法則》詳細地闡述瞭雙重負嚮調節如何對小到單個生命、大到生態係統進行調節和“維穩”。 其實這裏麵的負嚮調節或反饋調節在高中生物學中都是重點,我對其中的知識點也都記得非常清楚。但是,生物書中並沒有詳細闡述“塞倫蓋蒂法則”的發現過程和事例,讓我瞭解的並不是...

評分生物學當中的生態學更是一個新興的學科,在20世紀齣現,但是它發展得非常迅速。生態學給我們一個非常好的視角來觀察這個世界。甚至有人說21世紀生態學理論將會改變世界。 《生命的法則》就是這樣一部生態學著作。它從小到大,從基因、細胞、組織、器官、個體、種群和整個生態係...
評分本書的內容對沒有接觸過生物的文科生來說,有普及意義。但是對我們理科生,即使非生物專業,所述的知識大多屬於常識性內容,係統性迴顧和補充一下而已,哲學思辨上也未有令人眼前一亮的啓迪。故事倒是講得不錯。 這些生物普適的抑製,反饋抑製,再反饋抑製機製,生態係統研究得...

評分前幾天看到一個紀錄片。由於海冰融化,海象需要爬到八十米高的懸崖上尋找地方休息,在這個過程中很多海象不幸跌落懸崖摔死。我想人們可以輕而易舉地將一個毫無戒心的人從二十樓(80米高)推下去,但是人們不會這麼做,因為這是謀殺;人們再怎麼努力也沒有辦法單靠力氣把重一噸的海象從二十樓扔下去,但是通過剝奪棲息地可以。——這可以說是“一樁發生在遙遠北極的謀殺案”嗎?
