正如物理学解开了地、气、火、水等元素的奥秘一样，信息科学可以说丰富并统一了从物理学、数学到生物学和语言学等惊人多样的现代科学。因为符号、信息和编码不仅是计算机和电信的基石，也是生命有机体和人类知识形态的核心，所以信息以及信息论是普适的。这是第一本讲述信息论发展历程的书，探讨了它是如何伴随着二战期间雷达的发展而萌生，以及它是如何

……现实的难以捉摸。如果一个粒子仅仅是与其他粒子潜在相互作用的概率密度函数，那现实的本质究竟在于粒子本身，还是在于相互作用？Jeremy Campbell 的《Grammatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language and Life》。现实的本质是物质还是信息，抑或它们根本就是一回事？如果生物学是应用化学，而化学又是应用物理学，而物理学又……
…elusiveness of reality. If a particle is just a probability density function of potential interactions with other particles, does the substance of reality reside in the particle, or in the interaction? Grammatical Man : Information, Entropy, Language and Life, by Jeremy Campbell. Is the substance of reality matter or information, or are they the same? If biology is applied chemistry, which is applied physics, which…
排名不分先后，其中有些书与其说是“鲜为人知”，不如说是“被严重低估”，不过亚当·斯密的《国富论》（Wealth of Nations）是个显著例外——它没被读过或者被误读的程度简直让人不安：1. Jeremy Campbell 的《Grammatical Man》（1982）https://www.worldcat.org/title/grammatical-man-information-e... 这是我对信息论及其各种相互关联的应用与现象的入门书。2. Ecology……
In no particular order, and some of these being more "highly underrated" as opposed to "unknown", with the notable exception of Smith's Wealth of Nations which is disturbingly un- and mis-read: 1.

My introduction to information theory and its diverse set of interrelated applications and phenomena. 2. Ecology…
如果你在找好书读，我个人挺喜欢 Jeremy Campbell 的《Grammatical Man》，它把信息论和语言学串联在了一起。显然在哪个话题上都不算最深入的书，但依然非常引人入胜。http://www.amazon.com/Grammatical-Man-Information-Entropy-La...
If you're looking for a good read, I enjoyed Jeremy Campbell's "Grammatical Man" quite a bit, it ties together information theory and linguistics. Obviously not the most in-depth book on either topic, but fascinating nonetheless. http://www.amazon.com/Grammatical-Man-Information-Entropy-La...
……完全新颖的沟通根本没法让人理解。而完全已知的内容又传递不了任何新信息。你需要一种平衡。我想我最早是在《Grammatical Man》里接触到这个概念的，那是 Jeremy Campbell 在 80 年代左右写的一本关于信息论和混沌理论的书，写得极其出色，强烈推荐。更近一些的话，写到这里我突然想起来，我看过一张关于理解水平的曲线图……
…communication which is completely novel simply won't be understood. A communication which is completely known conveys no new information. You need a balance. I think I first encountered this concept in Grammatical Man, a 1980s-ish book by Jeremy Campbell on information and chaos theory, exceptionally well written, and highly recommended. More recently, recalling as I write this, I've seen a plot of the level of understanding…
