书籍简介
《实例研究》系列内容简短，设计精美，探索生活中常见物件的鲜为人知的故事，激励我们重新审视日常生活中我们习以为常的事物。
在《地球》一书中，一位行星科学家和一位文学人文主义者探索了当我们把地球看作从太空中可以看到的物体时会发生什么。如同“蓝色大理石”、“蓝色苍白的点”，或者如乔叟所描述的“一个小斑点”，这个孤独的球体是对规模和人类自尊的挑战。美丽而自给自足的地球，其实远不如它初看上去那么可知：它广阔的内部是炽热而坚固的岩石所组成的地狱，还有一个比海洋还大的蓄水池，一个世界中的世界。从太空观看地球会让人陷入尺度的深渊：人类如何能理解距离、温度和行星诞生、进化和消亡的时间尺度？
A literary scholar and a planetary scientist look at the Earth as object, viewed from the outside, and as a singular orb that is a challenge to scale and human self-importance.
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
In Earth, a planetary scientist and a literary humanist explore what happens when we think of the Earth as an object viewable from space. As a “blue marble,” “a blue pale dot,” or, as Chaucer described it, “this litel spot of erthe,” the solitary orb is a challenge to scale and to human self-importance. Beautiful and self-contained, the Earth turns out to be far less knowable than it at first appears: its vast interior an inferno of incandescent and yet solid rock and a reservoir of water vaster than the ocean, a world within the world. Viewing the Earth from space invites a dive into the abyss of scale: how can humans apprehend the distances, the temperatures, and the time scale on which planets are born, evolve, and die?
Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
