David Quammen的著作《The Song of the Dodo》是一部才华横溢、扣人心弦的杰作，其视野宏大令人惊叹，所传达的讯息深远——在当今这个充满动荡不安的时代，这是一本至关重要的书，它彻底改变了我们理解自然界以及人类在其中所处位置的方式。同时，这也是一本充满趣味与奇迹的书。在《The Song of the Dodo》中，我们跟随着Quammen敏锐的才智，穿梭于过去两个世纪杰出博物学家的思想、理论和实验之间。我们追随他走遍世界，探寻岛屿生物地理学这一主题，其涵盖的内容绝不亚于

大卫·匡曼是个宝藏作家。《渡渡鸟之歌》是我一直以来的最爱之一。
David Quammen is a treasure. The Song of the Dodo is one of my all time favorites.

……沿着洋流迁移 噢太有意思了！我刚开始读阿兰·德·奎罗斯写的《猴子的航程：不可思议的旅程如何塑造了生命史》，感觉我会像很多年前喜欢《渡渡鸟之歌》那样喜欢它。历史生物地理学实在太迷人了！
…along ocean currents Oh interesting! I just started reading The Monkey's Voyage: How Improbable Journeys Shaped the History of Life by Alan de Queiroz and I think I'm going to enjoy it as much as The Song of the Dodo many years prior. Historical biogeography is very fascinating!
只要是能和《渡渡鸟之歌》相提并论的作品，我都一定会认真拜读。多谢推荐！
Anything placed in the same realm as Song of the Dodo is a recommendation I take to heart. Thanks!
20多年前有一本写这个主题的畅销书，叫《渡渡鸟之歌》。https://www.amazon.com/Song-Dodo-Island-Biogeography-Extinct...
There was a popular book about this written over 20 years ago, The Song of the Dodo. https://www.amazon.com/Song-Dodo-Island-Biogeography-Extinct...
……因此，我能推荐类似《老鼠、虱子与人》和《瘟疫与人》这类通俗纪实读物。更严肃点说，大卫·匡曼凭借他在撰写《渡渡鸟之歌》时积累的进化生物学背景，在《溢出》一书中对人畜共患病病原体做出了可以说是最深刻透彻的阐释。历史上人畜共患病病原体的爆发，致死人数很可能比所有战争加起来还要多。人类对栖息地的破坏……
…can, thus, recommend journalistic potboilers such as “Rats, Lice, and Men” and “Plagues and Peoples”. More seriously, David Quammen, given the background he gained in evolutionary biology from writing “Song of the Dodo”, in “Spillover” gives what’s probably the best elucidation of zoonotic pathogens. Previous zoonotic pathogenic outbreaks have killed more than probably all wars combined. Disruption of habitat by human…
