The Faber Book of Science, edited by John Carey, charts the progress of science through its luminaries and heroes, from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Dawkins, via Charles Darwin, T. H. Huxley, Jean Henri Fabre and many, many others.
About the Author
John Carey is an Emeritus Professor at Oxford University. His books include studies of Donne, Dickens and Thackeray, The Intellectuals and the Masses, What Good Are the Arts? and a life of William Golding.
The Faber Book of Science introduces hunting spiders and black holes, gorillas and stardust, protons, photons and neutrinos. In his acclaimed anthology, John Carey plots the development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci to Chaos Theory. The emphasis is on the scientists themselves and their own accounts of their breakthroughs and achievements. The classic science-writers are included - Darwin, T.H. Huxley and Jean Henri Fabre tracking insects through the Provencal countryside. So too are today's experts - Steve Jones on the Human Genome Project, Richard Dawkins on DNA and many other representatives of the contemporary genre of popular science-writing which, John Carey argues, challenges modern poetry and fiction in its imaginative power.
约翰·凯里（John Carey）的《费伯科学之书》（The Faber Book of Science）是一个良好的开端——会使我们认识到，科学如艺术一般，根植于人类文化，且将会更加丰富多彩，带来更多创造力。如果我们可以在正统教育路径之外探索科学（如探索其历史和哲学内涵、深入浅出地学习科学、重新发现细致观察自然的乐趣等），可能会有更多的人发现，年幼时便被告知“你不是搞科学的料”，或许仅仅是一个残酷的骗局。
本文作者Tom McLeish是英国约克大学物理系的自然哲学教授，出版作品包括《科学中的信仰与智慧》（Faith and Wisdom in Science）、《要有科学》（Let There Be Science）和《科学的诗意和韵律》。
