病毒是科学界已知的最小生命体，然而它们却掌控着整个星球。我们最熟悉的是导致感冒或流感的病毒，但病毒还会引发各种各样的其他疾病。事实上，病毒融入我们生活的时间是如此久远，以至于我们本身有一部分就是由病毒构成的：人类基因组中来自病毒的 DNA 甚至超过了我们自己的基因。与此同时，科学家们发现病毒无处不在：在土壤中、在海洋里，甚至在地下数英里深的洞穴之中。在此，科学作家 Carl Zimmer 呈现了有关病毒如何

我推荐 Carl Zimmer 写的《病毒星球》（A Planet of Viruses）。书非常短，但几乎每一页都让人大开眼界。https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10840041-a-planet-of-vir... 有些病毒会钻进宿主的 DNA，一起复制…
I recommend "A Planet of Viruses" by Carl Zimmer. It's really short but almost every page is a mind-blower. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10840041-a-planet-of-vir... There are viruses that go into the hosts DNA, replicate along…
强烈推荐 Carl Zimmer 的《病毒星球》http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo222... 有些病毒会进入宿主体内，与宿主 DNA 融合，并像“普通”DNA 一样代代相传、一同复制。…
I strongly recommend "A Planet of Viruses" by Carl Zimmer http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo222... There are viruses that enter a host, merge with its DNA, replicate along with it for generations just like "normal" DNA.…

…http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/2012/02/14/mammals-ma... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/science/12paleo.html For those interested in evolution of sexual reproduction and "viro-biome", I recommend Carl Zimmer's Planet of Viruses and Matt Ridley's Red Queen. I agree the article is a bit sensationalist. Look at it in this way: had it been a boring, academic, science-journaly piece, many of us wouldn't have waded through the article…
我还会加上 Carl Zimmer 的《病毒星球》。
I would add Carl Zimmer’s “A Planet of Viruses” as well.
…有意思！你知道有什么能帮着多了解病毒的（科普）书吗？我光看简介找到了两本感觉不错的：Dorothy H. Crawford 的《牛津通识读本：病毒》（Viruses: A Very Short Introduction）和 Carl Zimmer 的《病毒星球》。这两本你推荐哪本，或者有别的推荐吗？
…interesting! Do you know some (pop)science books that could help learn more about viruses? I found two that sound good from description: "Viruses: A Very Short Introduction" by Dorothy H. Crawford and "A Planet of Viruses" by Carl Zimmer. Would you recommend any of these or something else?
…别发表。达到“ML”的境界就跟成为本土神明差不多，但你自己得蜕变成什么样才能驾驭它？我认为这就是门槛所在（如果真有门槛的话）。无论如何，读完 Carl Zimmer 的《病毒星球》[1] 之后，我敢肯定他们早就把一切牢牢掌控了。这是一本非虚构科普书，涵盖了病毒生物学领域的最新发现，只有 109 页，而且几乎每一页都让人大受震撼。…
…don't publish. Attaining the "ML" would be akin to becoming a local god, but how would you have to transform yourself to manage it? I believe that is the barrier, if any. In any event, after reading "A Planet of Viruses" by Carl Zimmer [1] I'm pretty sure that they already have things locked down. It's a non-fiction pop-sci covering recent discoveries in biology of viruses, only 109 pages and nearly every one mind-blowing.…
