"I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla," writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist's coming-of-age in remote Africa.
An exhilarating account of Sapolsky's twenty-one-year study of a troop of rambunctious baboons in Kenya, A Primate's Memoir interweaves serious scientific observations with wry commentary about the challenges and pleasures of living in the wilds of the Serengeti -- for man and beast alike. Over two decades, Sapolsky survives culinary atrocities, gunpoint encounters, and a surreal kidnapping, while witnessing the encroachment of the tourist mentality on the farthest vestiges of unspoiled Africa. As he conducts unprecedented physiological research on wild primates, he becomes evermore enamored of his subjects -- unique and compelling characters in their own right -- and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevents him.
By turns hilarious and poignant, A Primate's Memoir is a magnum opus from one of our foremost science writers.
一位生物學傢在肯尼亞二十多年野外工作的手記,為他熟識的一群男女狒狒作的傳記,為東非撒哈拉以南至塞倫蓋提這片地域上城市鄉村山野不同人群和文化描的速寫。看到結尾為那幾隻狒狒哭的稀裏嘩啦。真沒見過搞科學的人寫齣這樣風生水起的文字。想讀更多的關於非洲的書。
評分非常吸引人的書!本書作者曾經做過神經外科醫生,後來去非洲研究動物行為,獲過全美教學奬,課堂上經常實力吐槽斯坦福大學……這樣的教授寫的書怎麼可能錯過!
評分全是狒狒,看瞭也就看狒生
評分Much fun to read and too much fun to be considered as a "scientific" book.
