山羊豆、牛膝菊、金盏花，还有萹蓄、牛蒡、猪殃殃……在你眼里，它们是怡人的闲花野草，还是可恶的农业公害？是原野上野火烧不尽、春风吹又生的生命力象征，还是花园里离经叛道的麻烦制造者？
理查德·梅比被《泰晤士报》誉为“当代不列颠伟大的博物学作家”，在他笔下，杂草不再是园艺爱好者的敌人，而是机敏顽强的漫游者，是年年岁岁与我们照面的邻人，是自然与文明、野生与驯养交汇处的游民，是饱受严重污染摧残的大地向人类发出的警示。路边毫不起眼的杂草，让我们学会如何在自然的边界上生存。
--------------------------
▼内容简介▼
英国博物学作家理查德·梅比说，杂草的定义取决于人类看待它们的方式。
杂草和我们比邻而居，梅比一方面为自然界不被待见的植物辩护，一方面从历史、小说、诗歌、戏剧和民间故事中钩沉杂草与人类的复杂关系。
文明背后的野性从未走远。一部人类与自然的博弈史，同时也是一幅庞大的杂草迁徙与流浪图景。
--------------------------
▼媒体评论▼
植物在他笔下丰饶茂盛，作为博物学家，理查德•梅比俨然是自然的一部分……《杂草的故事》为流浪的植物辩护，他的写作愈深入，对战斗在边缘的自然敬意就愈重。
——《卫报》
一部具有讽刺意味但是又妙不可言的图书……梅比哀而不伤地认为，经过一个时代的沧桑巨变，杂草也许是我们硕果仅存的唯一。
——《纽约时报书评》
《杂草的故事》提醒人们以更宏大的时空视野、非人类中心论的视角看待植物。
——刘华杰

What is intelligence? How did it begin and evolve to human intelligence? Does a high level of biological intelligence require a complex brain? Can man-made machines be truly intelligent? Is AI fundamentally different from human intelligence? In Birth of Intelligence, distinguished neuroscientist Daeyeol Lee tackles these pressing fundamental issues. To better prepare for future society and its technology, including how the use of AI will impact our lives, it is essential to understand the biological root and limits of human intelligence. After systematically reviewing biological and computational underpinnings of decision making and intelligent behaviors, Birth of Intelligence proposes that true intelligence requires life.
Review
"This book addresses two fundamental questions--what it means to be intelligent and why it is important for biological systems to be intelligent. Drawing on key discoveries in neuroscience, computation, psychology, biology, and economics, Lee explains that a flexible ability to deal with the unexpected is central to intelligence and that such a capacity is inextricably linked to the biological imperative for replication and reproduction. There are books about intelligence and books about brains but this is the only one to explain how knowing about the workings of the Venus fly trap, the transistor, RNA, the agency dilemma, and Martian rovers can be useful for understanding either."
--Matthew Rushworth, FRS, DPhil, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Oxford
"In this engaging book, celebrated neuroscientist Daeyeol Lee provides an accessible but authoritative introduction to the core sciences of mind and brain. Building on this, he offers a penetrating and novel argument concerning the differences between biological and artificial intelligence. The book not only contributes key points to one of the most important debates of our time, but also provides an entree into this discussion for both non-experts and experts alike. In this way, Lee helps to create a space for informed and constructive debate concerning the future of our technology, and our relationship with it."
--Matthew Botvinick, MD, PhD, Director of Neuroscience Research, DeepMind and Honorary Professor, Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, University College London
"This ambitious book addresses the complex subject of intelligence. It is an account by a leader on the frontiers of neuroscience and psychology that is crackling with ideas and presented within a new framework of the critical role of intelligence in evolution. The author is engaged in the most up-to-date studies on the broad topic of decision neuroscience. His narrative shows amazing mastery of the essential topics, across a wide range of fields, including psychology, neuroscience, mathematics, probability theory, economic theory, evolution, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. These are all knitted together by a logical sequence of chapters and an engaging narrative style to give new insights into the neural basis of intelligence."
--Gordon M. Shepherd, MD, DPhil, Professor Emeritus in Department of Neuroscience, Yale University School of Medicine

This unique text covers, in great depth, both light and electron microscopy, as well as other structure and imaging techniques like x-ray crystallography and atomic force microscopy. Written in a user-friendly style and covering a broad range of topics, Bioimaging describes the state-of-the-art technologies that have powered the field to the forefront of cellular and molecular biological research.

Mathematical Models in Biology is an introductory book for readers interested in biological applications of mathematics and modeling in biology. Connections are made between diverse biological examples linked by common mathematical themes, exploring a variety of discrete and continuous ordinary and partial differential equation models. Although great advances have taken place in many of the topics covered, the simple lessons contained in Mathematical Models in Biology are still important and informative. Shortly after the first publication of Mathematical Models in Biology, the genomics revolution turned Mathematical Biology into a prominent area of interdisciplinary research. In this new millennium, biologists have discovered that mathematics is not only useful, but indispensable! As a result, there has been much resurgent interest in, and a huge expansion of, the fields collectively called mathematical biology. This book serves as a basic introduction to concepts in deterministic biological modeling.

Snustad provides scientists with the confidence to apply problem solving to the major principals of genetics. It eases them into the art of problem solving by integrating problems within each chapter. A clear connection between key principals and related problems is presented in each chapter. Icons help them clearly see how a problem is worked out before reading on. The fifth edition has also been revised with an improved art program. It offers more balanced coverage of traditional and modern topics by weaving classical genetics with molecular genetics, and illustrating the connection between the two. The book is problem-solving-centric as well. Chapters now contain problems that correlate with major principals. Coverage of both classic experiments and current research will allow scientists to gain perspective on the process of science.

海错的“错”，是种类繁多、错杂的意思。
清代画家兼生物爱好者聂璜绘制的《海错图》，共描绘了300多种生物，几乎涵盖无脊椎动物门和脊索动物门的大部分主要类群，还记载了不少海滨植物，是一本颇具现代博物学风格的奇书。
但时代所限，书中也有很多不靠谱之处，比如有些动物聂璜未曾亲见，仅根据别人描述绘制的外形，就会有很大失真。关于生物习性的记载，也是真假混杂。
正因如此，当我开始用今天生物学的角度，对《海错图》中的生物进行分析考证，从他的文字和画作中发现蛛丝马迹，辨别真伪，一步一步推理分析后，鉴定出画中生物的真身——这就像在破案一样，非常过瘾。
在这期间，我还去了辽宁、福建、广东、广西、天津及日本、泰国等地搜集素材、实地考证……到今天一年半多了，不知不觉也写了30篇文章。“破译”还将继续，先集为一本《海错图笔记》，大家看着玩儿。
在本书中，我采用了中国传统本草书的分类法，把书中生物归为“介部、鳞部、虫部、禽部”4类，以展示古人是怎样给生物分类的。有海洋生物的科普，有故纸堆里的考据，有中国人和大海之间的逸事，也有一些我个人的絮叨。说白了，就是我读《海错图》时做的30篇笔记。如果你看完后，觉得这是一本有意思、有意义的书，那我就很高兴了。
