Smoking Ears and Screaming Teeth pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Smoking Ears and Screaming Teeth is a hilarious celebration of the great eccentrics who have performed dangerous experiments on themselves for the benefit of humankind, written with all the wit, humour and eye for the beauties of nature -- and machinery and scientific equipment -- that have gained Trevor Norton a cult following and critical acclaim.

Many have followed the advice of the great Victorian scientist Jack Haldane to "never experiment on an animal if a man will do" and "never ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do yourself." He and his father inhaled poisonous gasses to test the efficacy of the prototype gas mask they had invented. When breathing gasses under pressure he suffered the smoking ears and screaming teeth of the title.

The stories are astonishing, disturbing or absurd -- the Marquis de Sade meets Monty Python. John Hunter pioneered self-experimentation and deliberately infected himself with venereal diseases by the puss transference method and gave his name to chancre of the penis. The zoologist Frank Buckland made a concentrated effort to widen the nation's diet by personally testing everything that crossed his path, from boiled elephant's trunk to bluebottles. He published recipes for such delicacies as slug soup. Some medics deliberately contracted deadly blood diseases in the hope of finding cures. Then there was the surgeon who got the sack and won the Nobel prize for thrusting a catheter into his own beating heart.

Trevor Norton writes that self-experimentation is still a component of much scientific research. In our health and safety obsessed society, we need people who are willing to risk themselves to make life safer for us.

標題化用瞭我最愛的書《月亮與六便士》的梗。對於這類人,無論是投身藝術還是投身科學,都是最令我肅然起敬的,他們的名字叫人類文明發展史上的英雄。但當然,前者偏嚮於自我,後者更偏嚮於無私的利他,因而後者更加可貴,更加適閤比作摘月人以區分他們遍布整顆行星的隻顧低頭...

非常有趣的一本書,以至於發誓不寫書評的我也不得不來嘮叨兩句。夾雜在《論美國的民主》,《西班牙變奏麯》以及《偶發空缺》的間歇以極快的速度讀完這本書——以往隻有在看小說的時候纔會看得這麼快,這本書帶給我的愉悅度堪比《自私的基因》。 八卦獵奇是一方麵,作為生物學教...

這好像是第一本我看完後覺得需要減星的書。虎頭蛇尾太要命,前三章的冷幽默強吐槽在後麵幾章裏越來越難尋覓,主題也從“虐己”——把自己當小白鼠,轉到瞭“虐人”——吃人的鯊魚、潛入深海的幽閉、升入平流層後駭人的高度等等。不過話說迴來,於大處能讓人覺得眼界頓開、於小處可讓讀者會心一笑的這麼一本科普小書,有什麼理由去黑它呢?
