A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest
Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Biologist David George Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Beginning with simple observations—a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter, the first blossom of spring wildflowers—Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology, ecology, and poetry, explaining the science binding together ecosystems that have cycled for thousands—sometimes millions—of years.
David George Haskell is a professor of biology at the University of the South and was named the Carnegie-CASE Professor of the Year in Tennessee in 2009. In addition to his scholarly work, he has published essays and poetry. He lives in Sewanee, Tennessee.

great!
评分太精彩了,某周一个小故事,每个故事都有一个生物学和生态学的理论支撑。以一个森林为棱镜,折射了科学的有趣性!

评分我原来还说以后再也不忘书上标注单词的意思了呢 到了这本不得不拾回这种中学生读英语的方法----毕竟学英语很少会学习树的名字,生态圈的构成啊。好好学习啦。 其实看了80%,准备暂时放下了,因为最近新闻乱飞,没办法静心读这样美的观察类科普。写得很好,以后返回读完。
评分great!
一沙一世界,一花一天堂。 推荐此书的原因只有一个,研究动植物的科学家没有那么感性的人文精神笔触,有优美文字能力的作家又没那么细致深入的科学研究。 此书去年就入手了,可惜每每翻两页就集中不了注意力了,有暴殄天物之觉而束回书架,此番被迫静养倒契机慢慢细读,竟进入...
评分《序》 从无限小的事物中寻找整个宇宙,是大多数文化中贯穿始终的一个悠远的主题 《1.1 伙伴关系》 《庄子.外篇.达生第十九》“吾始乎故,长乎性,成乎命。与齐俱入,与汩偕出,从水之道而不为私焉。” 地衣是两类生物的复合体:真菌;藻类或细菌 蓝色或紫色的地衣中包含“蓝-...
评分我想,即使是一丛野花,或是一棵老树也是值得的,最后我找到这片树林,它是一份礼物,鲜有访客,四面连山,怀抱之中出现的一小片开阔林地,因归属植物园管辖,就杜绝了其他的砍伐开发,得以保存一个相对完整的生态。春夏时节,这里灌木与乔木共生,入冬之后,就只剩下那些挺拔...
评分《看不见的森林》这本书开宗明义,把自己所观察到的一个小小的样本方称做“坛城”,要做“芥子中纳须弥”的事情。说实话,我很担心作者小处着眼,小处入手,精细无比却又沦入琐碎。写成观察日记之类可就太絮烦了。 不料一点一点看下来,觉得这粒芥子博大精深,“以须弥之高广...
评分书名大概会予人这样的印象:这是一本自然观察笔记。其实大不然。 前言里,作者自叙本书的缘起是想从生物学家的视野回应人类文化中种种以小见大的努力,诸如西藏的曼陀罗或布莱尔的“一沙一世界”;实现的手法则是在一片老林子里选定一平米大小的一块土地,在一年的时间内反复...
