伊丽莎白·科尔伯特的普利策奖获奖作品《大灭绝时代》,英文原名是“The Six Extinction”(第六次大灭绝)。这本书和气候变化及环境危机有关,但不是一本专门讲环保的书。它实际上就讲解了这么两件事: 随着地质学和古生物学等学科的发展,人类逐渐认识到地球历史上曾经发生过...
评分读完之后觉得作者行文很乱,引用的文献事例太多,做了哥思维导图才发现,其实非常有条理,为自己的草率惭愧…… 其实第一章算是总述或是绪论,通过巴拿马金蛙的灭绝引出后面要讲的事情,第二到第四章开始讲述灭绝概念的出现、发展以及猜想,五到十一章正式讲述进入人类世之后...

A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes
Over the last half-billion years, there have been Five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In prose that is at once frank, entertaining, and deeply informed, New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before. Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines, descriptions of the fascinating species that have already been lost, and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes. She shows that the sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
Frogs, auks, bats, rhinos, reefs, Neanderthals. Artisan is how I find aptest to describe the delicacy of nature hand. And yet, like tourists' cursory glance at exhibits, no quintessence of nature vitality has ever reached we sightseers' eye.
评分叙事风格很赞,有科学家的理智,也有文人墨客的忧思和哀愁
评分写的不错,不是简单的treehugger的宣传,很多确凿的科学数据,却用散文一样的语言来讲解,于是像小说一样引人入胜。
