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.

評分 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...

評分作者是分子生物學傢。全書介紹人類發現各種生態圈的種群數量調節機製的故事,這些生態圈微觀到細菌群落,宏觀到黃石公園與東非大草原的。微觀的部分比如膽固醇的故事之類的,偏學術,不夠有趣。宏觀的部分則非常有趣,這些故事是絕大多數導遊不知道的。 讀後印象比較深的故事有...

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?
