万物原理

Fundamentals:

Ten Keys to Reality 

Frank Wilczek

推荐老师:Claude

推荐语

A great contemporary scientist has revealed ten profound insights that illuminate what everyone should know about the physical world.

In The Principle of Everything, Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek makes a simple but profound exploration of reality, based on profound Revelations from modern science. What is the world and how does it work? Wilczek guides us through the basic concepts of understanding these questions with a clear, accurate narrative and an infectious sense of pleasure. After reading this book, we will see our reality in a new way -- and find that it seems bigger, more complete and stranger than before.

Wilczek combines basic questions, facts and a dizzying array of speculations to examine the fundamental ideas that form our understanding of the universe: time, space, matter, energy, complexity and complementarity. He digs into the history of basic science, explores what we know and how we know it, and takes us on a journey through the horizons of the scientific world. Brilliant, clear and accessible, this is a feast of human ingenuity and imagination that will expand your world and mind.

一位伟大的当代科学家揭示了十项深刻的洞见,阐明了每个人都应该了解的物理世界。

在《万物原理》一书中,诺贝尔奖得主弗兰克·维尔切克以现代科学的深刻启示为基础,对现实进行了简单而深刻的探索。世界是什么,它又是如何运作的?维尔切克通过清晰准确的叙述,加上一份富有感染力的愉悦感,引导我们探索了关于以上问题的理解的基本概念。读完这本书,我们将以一种新的方式来看待我们身处的现实——会发现,它比以前看起来更大、更完整、更陌生。

维尔切克综合了基本的问题、事实和令人眼花缭乱的推测,研究了那些形成我们对宇宙的理解的基础观念:时间、空间、物质、能量、复杂性和互补性。他挖掘基础科学的历史,探索我们知道什么以及我们是如何知道这些的,他带领我们在科学世界的视野中旅行。精彩、清晰、平易近人,这是一场凝聚人类智慧和想象力的盛宴,将扩展你的世界和思维。

皇帝新脑

The Emperor's 

New Mind

Roger Penrose

推荐老师:David

推荐语

Extensive and simple discussions on computer science, mathematics, physics, cosmology, neuroscience and spiritual sciences, and philosophy demonstrate the author's unflinchingly challenging the biggest question in philosophy: the mind-body relationship. The book is filled with genius speculation, inspiration and passion for truth. This is a masterful book by an author with a striking new way of explaining scientific issues. This tome reassesses relativity and quantum theory. The author presents his new view of modern physics and artificial intelligence, suggesting that people must completely change their concept of time and space.

对电脑科学、数学、物理学、宇宙学、神经和精神科学以及哲学进行了广泛、深入浅出的讨论,体现了作者向哲学上最大问题——“精神-身体关系”挑战的大无畏精神。书中充满了天才般的猜测,贯穿着探索真理的灵感和激情。这是一本作者的精心杰作,它阐释科学论题的新方式令人眼前为之一亮。这本巨著重新衡量相对论和量子理论。作者提出他对现代物理及人工智能的新看法,建议人们必须彻底改变时间与空间的观念。

破天机:

基因编辑的惊人力量

A Crack in Creation: 

Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution

JENNIFER A. DOUDNA/

SAMUEL H. STERNBERG

推荐老师:Yoanna

推荐语

The basic law of the biological world is evolution, the core mechanism of evolution is natural selection, and the basic unit of natural selection is gene.

Over eons of years, bacteria have evolved an adaptive immune system called CRISPR as they battled viruses. That is, bacteria "remember" the DNA sequence of a virus and wait for it to invade again, cutting off its DNA.

Billions of years later, the next comers of the biosphere -- humans -- understood genes, unravelled the double helix of DNA and learned to "read" them. Now, with the ancient Sword of CRISPR, humans can go one step further and edit genes with ease. This means that in the future, rational design will gradually replace natural selection as the driving force of biological evolution. Humans already have the power to reshape the evolution of the biosphere (including our own), but can we take up the responsibility?

生物世界的基本规律是演化,演化的核心机制是自然选择,自然选择的基本单位是基因。 
亿万年来,细菌在与病毒经久不息的鏖战中,演化出了一套适应性免疫系统:CRISPR。即,细菌会“记住”病毒的DNA序列,等后者再次入侵时予以反击,切断其DNA。 
亿万年后,生物圈的后来者 ——人类——认识了基因,解开了DNA的双螺旋结构,学会了“阅读”基因。现在,有了CRISPR这把“上古神剑”,人类更进一步,可以轻松地“编辑”基因了。这意味着,在未来,理性设计将逐渐取代自然选择,成为生物演变的动力。人类已经有能力重塑生物圈(包括人类自己)的演化,但我们能承担起这份责任吗?

通向实在之路

The Road to Reality: 

A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe

Roger Penrose

推荐老师:Felix

推荐语

Roger Penrose's aim is to describe the contemporary understanding of the universe as clearly as possible, revealing its deep aesthetic and philosophical implications, as well as its complex logical connections. "The Road to Truth" is a challenging book, written in a fluent style with hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations. It does not require special background knowledge, and the early chapters provide an important mathematical foundation for exploring the physical theories that follow.

Here we can understand the role of the different branches of physics in science; Learn about calculus and the many magical concepts of modern geometry; Knowledge of the fundamentals and conflicts of quantum mechanics; Understand what the Standard Model of particle physics is; What is cosmology, the Big Bang, black holes; The profound challenge of what the second law of thermodynamics is; What are string theory and M-theory; What is loop quantum gravity; To see new scientific trends and new directions.

This magnificent book by a world-renowned scientist provides a comprehensive and unrivalled guide to our understanding of the universe.

罗杰·彭罗斯的目标是要尽可能清晰地描述当代对宇宙的认识,揭示出其中深刻的美学意蕴和哲学内涵,以及复杂的逻辑关联。《通向实在之路》极富挑战性,语言娓娓道来,叙事非常流畅,更兼有几百幅作者手绘的精美插图。它不要求读者具有专门的背景知识,书的前几章提供的重要的数学基础为探索后面的物理理论做了准备。

从这里,我们能够了解物理学各个不同门类在科学上所起的作用;学到微积分和现代几何学的众多神奇概念;知晓量子力学的基础和冲突;明了什么是粒子物理学标准模型;什么是宇宙学、大爆炸、黑洞;什么是热力学第二定律的深刻挑战;何谓弦论和M理论;何谓圈量子引力;看到各种科学新潮以及新的发展方向。

这部由世界著名科学家所撰的皇皇巨著为我们认识宇宙提供了一个全面而无与伦比的指南。

漫画经济学

武敬敏/田萍

推荐老师:Yvonne

推荐语

This book deliberately transforms complex economic explanations into easy-to-understand structural diagrams for your understanding. Although we are gracious, we are also authoritative. The comic format does not detract from the depth and strength of our interpretation of economics, so you are wise not to worry about "going to the wrong school". We are absolutely using the international standard language of economics.

The biggest difference from boring economics books is comics. There's only fun and concise language here, and you'll never get lost in the convoluted explanations.

Needless to say here, wonderful in the text. Or follow Teacher Cat to begin the economics journey together.

《漫画经济学》特意将复杂的经济学解释转换成简单易懂的结构示意图,便于你的理解。虽然我们很亲切,但我们也绝对权威。漫画的形式并不会降低我们对经济学阐释的深度和力度,所以聪明的你不必担心自己“拜错师门,误入歧途”。我们使用的绝对是国际通用的经济学标准语。

与单调无趣的经济学读本最大的不同就是——漫画。这里只有好玩又简练的语言,你绝对不会因为绕口的解释而头昏眼花以致迷失。

无须在此赘言,精彩就在文中。还是跟着猫老师一起开始经济学之旅吧。

  - 纪录片 -  

PREHISTORIC PLANET《史前星球》 

BBC & Apple TV+

推荐老师:Joan


If you're also curious about the prehistoric world of dinosaurs because of the Jurassic Park movies, don't miss this BBC/Apple+ documentary about paleontology. 

Set in the Cretaceous period, Prehistoric Planet combines the latest archaeological discoveries with live action and CG photography to take you back 66 million years to the little-known and surprising world of prehistoric dinosaurs.

Of course, while marveling at the vivid special effects and beautiful pictures, don't forget to follow the narration of Mr. David Attenborough and learn to accumulate academic English vocabulary and expressions. 

如果你也是因为侏罗纪公园系列电影而对史前的恐龙世界充满好奇,那么请千万不要错过这部由BBC和Apple+拍摄的古生物纪录片。 《史前星球》以白垩纪时代为背景,结合最新的考古发现,运用实景结合CG的拍摄手法,带你穿越回6600万年前那个鲜为人知且令人惊讶的史前恐龙世界。

当然,同学们在一边惊叹这逼真的特效绝美的画面同时,也不要忘记跟随大卫爱登堡老先生的旁白,好好学习积累一下学术英语词汇和表达哦~
