……http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Expanded-PB-Beyond/dp/0521741475/ 我在 2008 年读过的最喜欢的书是 R. Dale Guthrie 的《The Nature of Paleolithic Art》（2006 年出版）。http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Paleolithic-Art-Dale-Guthrie/dp/0226311260/ 罗杰·彭罗斯的《The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe》（通往现实之路）。费曼物理学讲义。很多 HN 读者建议多读费曼的书，我也赞同。《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》……
…http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Expanded-PB-Beyond/dp/0521741475/ My favorite book I read in 2008 was The Nature of Paleolithic Art, by R.

一本略微相关的书，我推荐罗杰·彭罗斯的《The Road to Reality》。
A somewhat related book I recommend is The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose.
罗杰·彭罗斯在《The Road to Reality》里给出了绝妙的解释。我们知道自然数的某个子集是真实存在的，因为我们可以数数。因此我们也知道有理数的某个子集是真实存在的，因为我们可以把东西切成碎片然后再去数……
Roger Penrose gives a great explanation in The Road to Reality. We know some subset of the natural numbers are real because we can count things. And we therefore know some subset of the rational numbers are real because we can cut things into pieces and count the…
补充几本：罗杰·彭罗斯的《皇帝新脑》，非常酷的一本书。还有彭罗斯的《通往现实之路：宇宙法则的完全指南》。彭罗斯的《心灵的影子：寻找缺失的意识科学》。
To add to this: The Emperor's New Mind, by Roger Penrose. Really cool book. The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe, by Penrose again. Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness, Penrose.
……回来了（20 年后）——因为我正在复活一个用于广义相对论的 Maple 软件包 grtensor，那是我读博期间参与合写的。弯曲空间是个美妙的东西。彭罗斯最近的书让我想起了他那本精彩的《The Road to Reality》——那是一趟从数学通往物理的绝佳之旅。
…back (20 years later) - as I resurrect a Maple package for GR, grtensor, which I co-wrote as part of my PhD. Curved space is a beautiful thing. Penrose's recent book reminded me of his wonderful "The Road to Reality: - which is a great tour of math leading into physics.
试试罗杰·彭罗斯的《The Road to Reality》。他采用的写作方式是默认读者范围既可以是纯小白也可以是数学家，如果你愿意，完全可以跳过公式和练习题。但如果你尝试去……
Try Roger Penrose's "The Road to Reality." He takes the approach of assuming that his readers can range from absolute beginners to mathematicians, and that if you prefer, you can skip the equations and the exercises. But if you attempt to…
