A Planet of Viruses pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The past year has been one of viral panic – panic about viruses, that is. Through headlines, public health warnings, and at least one homemade hazmat suit, we were reminded of the powerful force of viruses. They are the smallest living things known to science, yet they can hold the entire planet in their sway.
A Planet of Viruses is Carl Zimmer's eye-opening look at the hidden world of viruses. Zimmer, the popular science writer and author of National Geographic's award-winning blog The Loom, has updated this edition to include the stories of new outbreaks, such as Ebola, MERS, and chikungunya virus; new scientific discoveries, such as a hundred-million-year-old virus that infected the common ancestor of armadillos, elephants, and humans; and new findings that show why climate change may lead to even deadlier outbreaks. Zimmer's lucid explanations and fascinating stories demonstrate how deeply humans and viruses are intertwined. Viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, are responsible for many of our most devastating diseases, and will continue to control our fate for centuries. Thoroughly readable, and as reassuring as it is frightening, A Planet of Viruses is a fascinating tour of a formidable hidden world.
Carl Zimmer is a columnist for the New York Times, writes for National Geographic and other magazines, and is the author of thirteen books, including Parasite Rex, Soul Made Flesh, and Microcosm. He is also a lecturer at Yale University, where he teaches writing about science and the environment.

評分纔一百多頁的病毒星球在豆瓣閱讀上竟然賣到三十多塊,被逼著隻能看原版瞭;介紹瞭煙草花葉病毒、人鼻病毒HRV,流感病毒,人乳頭瘤病毒HPV,噬菌體,內源性逆轉錄病毒ERV,HIV,西尼羅河病毒,埃博拉病毒,SARS病毒,MERS病毒,天花病毒,巨型病毒(其中兩個名字讓人印象深刻: mamavirus和mimivirus)
評分這本書真的太有趣瞭,書名是病毒星球,但是更像是簡述人類研究病毒的曆史,最讓我稱奇的是,我們的DNA裏麵竟然有這麼多病毒的貢獻,就連胎盤,我們作為哺乳動物的特徵之一,竟然也是因為某種病毒偶然進入我們祖先體內纔進化齣來的?!太有趣瞭。裏麵免不瞭會提到HIV, Ebola, SARS, MERS, 病毒從彆的物種跨越到人類很多次瞭,但看瞭這些舊病毒的進化優劣分析,還是會覺得我們現在麵對的,可謂是真的怪物新病毒。

評分•很好的科普讀本 有一點初高中生物知識就可以看懂 •語言平實 敘述生動 每一章篇幅不長 有點像讀公眾號文章???? 甚至還有各種神轉摺???? •跟著作者瞭解瞭病毒與人類、動物相愛相殺的關係 看完有種過癮的感覺——這種感覺來自對自然界中基因復製交換這個偉大過程的敬畏 也來自病毒對我們呼吸的空氣、與胎生動物的潛在關聯給我帶來的驚訝 總結作者的觀點就是病毒有害也有益 •奇怪的知識大幅增加瞭
“人鼻病毒可以训练我们的免疫系统,这样未来遇到一些小刺激时,免疫系统就不会过度反应,而可以养精蓄锐,去攻击那些真正的敌人。或许我们不该把感冒看成我们的老对手,而是一个常伴左右的明师。” 01 — 深入浅出的、有趣的科普。英文版2011年第一版,2015年第二版。书比较薄,正...

評分书的第9章: 预测下一场瘟疫 Predicting the next Plague, 是关于SARS和埃博拉,中东呼吸热。书中写到:We can expct more viruses to sweep into our species, and they will probably come at an accelerating pace. Animals in remote parts of the world have harbored ex...
評分这段时间,继续看完病毒系列。书过了一遍后,觉得其中三个章节里,能总结出一些有趣的结论,特分享: The Uncommon Cold 章节: 1. 感冒病毒也称为“鼻腔病毒”,其结构非常简单,只有大概10个基因。让人感到头晕、发烧不是病毒引起的,而是人体的免疫系统引起的。 2. 感冒病毒...
