圖書描述

The Oldest Living Things in the World is an epic journey through time and space. Over the past decade, artist Rachel Sussman has researched, worked with biologists, and traveled the world to photograph continuously living organisms that are 2,000 years old and older. Spanning from Antarctica to Greenland, the Mojave Desert to the Australian Outback, the result is a stunning and unique visual collection of ancient organisms unlike anything that has been created in the arts or sciences before, insightfully and accessibly narrated by Sussman along the way.

Her work is both timeless and timely, and spans disciplines, continents, and millennia. It is underscored by an innate environmentalism and driven by Sussman’s relentless curiosity. She begins at “year zero,” and looks back from there, photographing the past in the present. These ancient individuals live on every continent and range from Greenlandic lichens that grow only one centimeter a century, to unique desert shrubs in Africa and South America, a predatory fungus in Oregon, Caribbean brain coral, to an 80,000-year-old colony of aspen in Utah. Sussman journeyed to Antarctica to photograph 5,500-year-old moss; Australia for stromatolites, primeval organisms tied to the oxygenation of the planet and the beginnings of life on Earth; and to Tasmania to capture a 43,600-year-old self-propagating shrub that’s the last individual of its kind. Her portraits reveal the living history of our planet—and what we stand to lose in the future. These ancient survivors have weathered millennia in some of the world’s most extreme environments, yet climate change and human encroachment have put many of them in danger. Two of her subjects have already met with untimely deaths by human hands.

Alongside the photographs, Sussman relays fascinating – and sometimes harrowing – tales of her global adventures tracking down her subjects and shares insights from the scientists who research them. The oldest living things in the world are a record and celebration of the past, a call to action in the present, and a barometer of our future.

這個世界的每個角落都有很酷的人在做你根本想象不到的很酷的事,你真的沒你以為的重要。而這個世界上其實有很多生物倔強地佇立瞭數十個世紀,默默把“永恒”的絕對值擴大一點點。每每想到這些,連看世界的眼光都會溫柔一點點。

本书的译者刘夙近年来翻译了多本植物类的科普作品,可以说此领域的质量保证。译者在后记中提到的、与之商榷植物中译名的刘冰也是位优秀植物学者,凭一己之力出版了两本特别好用的野生植物图鉴。有两位刘老师坐镇,这本书的译文质量当然是杠杠的。 至于作者,诚如译者在后记中所...

树非常了不起。在记忆与遗忘的国度,一直背负时间在身。每每过去一年,它便烙下一圈年轮。它们以自己特有的方式,建立起地球进化模式的参照系列。有关这个世界最老最老的过去,树可以告诉你许多许多。 比如,“谢尔曼将军”。那是生活在加利福尼亚巨杉公园的一位“老人家...
