星际信使：宇宙视角下的人类文明
假如一位星际信使从外太空来访地球,你是否好奇他从宇宙视角如何看待人类文明？全球著名天体物理学家、科普作家尼尔德格拉斯泰森基于宇宙视角书写了科学与社会、真与美、探索与发现、地球与月亮、冲突与解决方案、风险与回报、肉食主义者与素食主义者、性别与身份、颜色与种族、法律与秩序、身体与意识、生命与死亡这12个值得人类反思的重要议题,以幽默而散文化的语言带我们重新理解科学与文明。 在太空中环绕过地球的宇航员们通常会有的"概览效应"究竟是怎样一种体验？吃豆人星云、猫眼星云,星云的名字为何如此千奇百怪？如果你"杀死"了一个外星人,这算不算犯了"谋杀罪"？我们是否每天都在用自己和他人的生命做计算？……在这本书中,泰森将关于宇宙天体的科普知识融入"脑洞大开"的奇思妙想。从对解决全球冲突的见解到提醒人们活着是多么珍贵,泰森用他的热情和雄辩揭示了一系列辉煌而美丽的普适性真理,以前所未有的方式观察和描绘这个世界。
