Károly Simonyi 写的《物理学文化史》（A Cultural History of Physics）是一本极其精彩的科学与数学史著作，涵盖了从古代到近代的历史。虽然书名叫物理史，但书中触及了从数学到……
"A Cultural History of Physics" by Karoli Simonyi is a brilliant book on the history of Science and math from antiquity to recent past. Even though the title reads as history of physics, the book touches upon everything from Math to…
This year I revisited "A Cultural History of Physics" quite a tremendous book. It goes to the entire history of physics while parallelly highlighting cultural events with emphasis on how one influenced the other.
…perspective. A significant part of my work involves cleaning up structured and unstructured data. An example: More than ten years ago a friend of mine was fascinated by the german edition of the book "A Cultural History of Physics" by Károly Simonyi. He scanned the book (600+ pages) and created a PDF (nearly) same layout. Against my advice he used Adobe tools for it instead of creating an epub or something like DocBook. The PDF…

Károly Simonyi 的《物理学文化史》：主要讲物理，但相当惊艳。
Károly Simonyi: A Cultural History of Physics Mostly physics but pretty amazing.
今年我又重温了《物理学文化史》，这真是一本巨作。它贯穿了整个物理学史，同时平行列出文化事件，重点强调了两者是如何相互影响的。

……角度。我的工作中很大一部分涉及清洗结构化和非结构化数据。举个例子：十多年前，我的一位朋友被 Károly Simonyi 的《物理学文化史》德文版迷住了。他把整本书（600多页）都扫描了，做成了一个排版（几乎）一模一样的 PDF。他不听我的劝告，用了 Adobe 工具来做，而不是做成 epub 或者像 DocBook 那样的格式。那个 PDF……
