我真想把我最爱的书——卡尔·萨根的《宇宙》(Cosmos)用这种网页排版重做一遍。讲真,为什么现在的电子书就不能做成这样呢?
I would love to have my favorite book, "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan recreated in this same web layout. In fact, why AREN'T online books like this?
……如果你也跟我一样有 ADHD,而且还没读过这个,那这绝对是第一个真正帮我提高生产力的系统。《活出意义来》(Man's Search for Meaning)——维克多·弗兰克尔。《一行禅师讲佛陀与基督》(Living Buddha, Living Christ)——一行禅师。《宇宙》(Cosmos)——卡尔·萨根。《黑暗的左手》(The Left Hand of Darkness)——厄休拉·勒古恩。《离开奥梅拉斯的人》(The One who Walks Away from Omelas)——厄休拉·勒古恩。《野种》(Wild Seed)——奥克塔维亚·巴特勒。《平家物语》(The Heike Monogatari)——(海伦·克雷格·麦卡洛 译)“祗园精舍的钟声……
…ADHD like me, and you haven't read this, it's the first system that's really worked for productivity for me. Man's Search for Meaning - Victor Frankl. Living Buddha, Living Christ - Thich Nhat Hanh. Cosmos - Carl Sagan. The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. LeGuin. The One who Walks Away from Omelas - U.K. LeGuin. Wild Seed - Octavia Butler. The Heike Monogatari - (tr. Helen Craig McCullough) “The sound…
我今年的阅读收获满满,选择困难症都犯了:卡尔·萨根的《宇宙》(Cosmos)、丹·西蒙斯的《海伯利安》+《海伯利安的陨落》、金·斯坦利·罗宾逊的《红火星》(Red Mars)、尼可罗·马基雅维利的《君主论》(The Prince)
I had a fantastic reading year, too much to choose from: "Cosmos" - Carl Sagan "Hyperion" + "Fall of Hyperion" - Dan Simmons "Red Mars" - Kim Stanley Robinson "The Prince" - Niccolo Machiavelli
……以极其详尽的生物学细节展现了从受孕到成年的全过程。西蒙·辛格写的《码书:从古埃及到量子密码的潜行科学》(The Code Book),写得极好,尽管现在看来稍有点过时了。卡尔·萨根的《宇宙:宇宙演化、科学与文明的故事》(Cosmos)。
…from conception to adulthood in minute biological detail. The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography by Simon Singh is fantastic, if a little out of date by now. Cosmos: The Story of Cosmic Evolution, Science and Civilisation by Carl Sagan.
最强力推荐:《宇宙》(Cosmos)——!!!《现实的度量》(The Measure of Reality)——定量化如何彻底重塑了社会的面貌。非常有意思。这大概是我今年最喜欢的一本书。《日暮》(Nightfall)——设想挺有趣的……
Most Highly Recommended: Cosmos - !!! The Measure of Reality - How quantification has completely changed the face of society. Very interesting stuff. This has probably been my favourite read this year. Nightfall - Interesting ideas…
……至少在 BBC 内部是亲身体验过的,并得到了该机构的全力支持。值得注意的是,后来的国家级/公共广播或商业制作,几乎没有任何一部能望其项背。我的必看精选片单里包括萨根的《宇宙》(Cosmos)、伯克自己的《改变宇宙的那一天》(The Day the Universe Changed)、肯·伯恩斯的作品、丹尼尔·耶金的《奖赏》(The Prize),当然还有肯尼斯·克拉克的《文明》(Civilisation)以及雅各布·布罗诺夫斯基的《人类的飞跃》(The Ascent of Man),正是它们为伯克铺平了道路……
…experienced at least within the BBC, and backed by the organisation. Notably, little from either national/public broadcasting or commercial production has even approached it. My short list includes Sagan's Cosmos, Burke's own The Day the Universe Changed, Ken Burns. Daniel Yergin's The Prize. And of course Kenneth Clarke's Civilisation and Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man, which had paved the way for Burke…
