編輯推薦
Unless your species evolved sometime after 1993 when Jurassic Park hit theaters, you're no doubt familiar with this dinosaur-bites-man disaster tale set on an island theme park gone terribly wrong. But if Speilberg's amped-up CGI creation left you longing for more scientific background and ... well, character development, check out the original Michael Crichton novel. Although not his best book (get ahold of sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain for that), Jurassic Park fills out the film version's kinetic story line with additional scenes, dialogue, and explanations while still maintaining Crichton's trademark thrills-'n'-chills pacing. As ever, the book really is better than the movie. --Paul Hughes

媒體評論
From Publishers Weekly Bioengineers clone 15 species of dinosaurs and establish an island preserve where tourists can view the large reptiles; chaos ensues when a rival genetics firm attempts to steal frozen dinosaur embryos, and it's up to two kids, a safari guide and a paleontologist to set things right. PW called this, "A scary, creepy, mesmerizing technothriller with teeth." Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal YA-- Massive sums spent on biotechnology, 24 Cray supercomputers sent to a fog-shrouded island off Costa Rica, and expert advice bought from paleontologists have combined to produce the most incredible amusement park of all time. Jurassic Park is inhabited by real dinosaurs, over 200 of them, all cloned from snippets of ancient DNA. Crichton is a master at blending technology with fiction, creating a tale all the more terrifying because it could happen. And the terror is heightened when dinosaurs escape from their barricaded area on the island, an event occasioned by the foolhardiness of relying on technology to control their range. Readers can just imagine being caught in the open with these dinosaurs after there's been a massive power outage on the island. Suspense, excitement, and good adventure pervade this book--and few YAs will be able to resist it. - Pam Spencer, Jefferson Sci-Tech, Alexandria, VA Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
這本書的文字功力實在令人嘆服,讀起來有一種酣暢淋灕的感覺,完全沒有傳統學術著作的枯燥和晦澀。作者的敘事節奏把握得極好,常常在看似平淡的描述中,突然拋齣一個能讓人拍案叫絕的洞察點。我特彆喜歡他處理曆史事件和科學實驗的方式,那種將宏大的經濟理論落地到具體案例的過渡非常自然流暢。比如,他講到某些實驗設計時,那種精巧和巧妙簡直讓人拍案叫絕,你會忍不住想,原來觀察人性還可以用這種方式!而且,這本書的結構處理也很有章法,層層遞進,仿佛在引導你進行一次由錶及裏的探索之旅。讀到後半部分,那種豁然開朗的感覺非常強烈,很多過去想不通的社會現象,突然間都有瞭閤理的解釋框架。它不是簡單地告訴你“我們錯瞭”,而是構建瞭一套全新的思維工具,讓你自己去重新審視過往的認知。
評分這本著作的價值,絕不僅僅停留在學術層麵,它對個人生活哲學的影響是巨大的。自從讀瞭這本書,我對待自己的選擇和判斷的態度變得更加審慎和謙卑。我開始明白,所謂的“自由意誌”在很多時候,其實是被無數潛意識的錨點和啓發式捷徑所牽引的。以前我總喜歡用“意誌力薄弱”來解釋自己的失敗,現在我更傾嚮於理解這是大腦在特定環境下追求效率所做的權衡。這種理解帶來的不是自我放棄,而是一種更具同理心和策略性的自我管理。它教會我如何去“馴服”那個非理性的自我,而不是一味地與之對抗。閱讀過程中,那種知識體係被重塑的體驗是極其震撼的,仿佛推倒瞭一棟舊的知識大廈,開始用更紮實的材料重建認知結構。
評分對於一個長期關注市場動態和商業決策的人來說,這本書簡直是一劑清醒劑。它用大量的篇幅闡述瞭市場失靈並非總是外部衝擊的結果,很多時候,正是群體性的、基於人類固有缺陷的行為偏差,造成瞭市場的過度反應和非理性繁榮或衰退。作者那種對傳統經濟學範式既尊重又批判的態度,非常成熟和引人入勝。我尤其欣賞他那種帶著幽默感的筆調去解構那些曾經被視為神聖不可侵犯的理論模型。讀完後,我對任何聲稱能預測未來的模型都保持瞭一份健康的懷疑。這本書讓你學會用一種更具現實主義的眼光去看待經濟運行的復雜性和脆弱性,認識到人類的集體智慧,往往不如個體的認知陷阱集閤來得更加強大和持久。這是一部能讓你在復雜世界中,保持頭腦清醒的必讀書目。
評分說實話,我一開始對這種“行為經濟學”的書是抱有一點懷疑態度的,總覺得是不是又是一堆玄乎的心理學概念堆砌起來的“僞科學”。但這本書徹底打消瞭我的顧慮。它所有的論證都建立在嚴謹的實驗數據和曆史觀察之上,這一點極其重要。它沒有停留在“情緒化決策”這種膚淺的層麵,而是深入到瞭我們大腦處理信息和評估風險的底層邏輯中去。例如,關於“損失厭惡”的描述,簡直是精準地擊中瞭我的痛點,我這纔明白為什麼我會在某些投資上做齣明明知道不該做的決定。更重要的是,這本書不僅僅是揭示問題,它還隱隱約約地提供瞭一種建設性的視角——如何設計齣更貼閤人性弱點的製度或産品。這對於任何從事設計、營銷或政策製定工作的人來說,都是一本無價的參考書,因為它讓你從“我們應該如何”跳齣來,去思考“人們實際會如何”。
評分這本書簡直是把我們對“理性人”的固有認知徹底顛覆瞭!我記得第一次翻開它的時候,就被作者那種直擊人心的敘述方式吸引住瞭。他不像那種高高在上的經濟學傢,而是像一個老朋友,帶著你走進一個又一個充滿矛盾和非理性的行為現場。比如,他會用我們日常生活中最常見的場景來舉例,那種“啊,我就是這麼想的!”的共鳴感瞬間就來瞭。我們總以為自己做決定都是經過深思熟慮的,但實際上,很多時候都是潛意識裏的偏見和情緒在悄悄作祟。這本書的厲害之處在於,它不是空泛地指責我們“不理性”,而是細緻入微地剖析瞭這些“不理性”背後的心理機製,簡直就是一本行為的“解剖學”指南。讀完之後,我再看新聞報道裏那些關於市場波動或者政策實施的分析,總會多一層思考,不再輕易相信那些純粹基於完美數學模型的預測。它讓我意識到,理解人類的局限性,遠比假想一個完美假設重要得多。這不僅僅是一本經濟學讀物,更像是一部深刻的人性觀察史。
