Publisher Description:
这是一本森林观测笔记。在这本书里，一位生物学家以一年的时间为主线，在每次的观测中，为我们揭开藏森林一平方米地域里的秘密。在这本完全原创的书里，生物学家戴维以一小片森林作为整个自然界的缩影，向我们生动地展示了这片森林和居住其中的栖息者的生活状况。书的每一章都以一次简单的观察结果作为开头，比如藏在落叶层里的火蜥蜴，春天里野花的初次绽放。通过这些观察，戴维织就了一个生物生态网，向人们解释了把最小的微生物和最大的哺乳动物联系起来的科学观点，并描述了延续数千年甚至数百万年的生态系统。戴维每天都会在这片森林里漫步，梳理出各种以大自然为家的动植物间复杂而又微妙的关系，因此每一次寻访对于他来说，都象征着一个自然故事的缩影。本书优美的语言使读者把阅读过程看作一次寻找大自然奥秘的盛大旅行，而作者则像导游，带领大家探索存在于我们脚下或者藏在我们后院里的奇妙世界。 The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature is a forest observation note. In this book, a biologist reveals the secret world hidden in one square meter of forest in each of his observations in a year's time. In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands-sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.
