In First Steps, paleoanthropologist Jeremy DeSilva explores how unusual and extraordinary this seemingly ordinary ability is. A seven-million-year journey to the very origins of the human lineage, First Steps shows how upright walking was a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human—from our technological abilities, our thirst for exploration, our use of languag...(展开全部)

In this moving and eloquent portrait, John Heilbron describes how the founder of quantum theory rose to the pinnacle of German science. With great understanding, he shows how Max Planck suffered morally and intellectually as his lifelong habit of service to his country and to physics was confronted by the realities of World War I and the brutalities of the Third Reich.

伦纳德·蒙洛迪诺（Leonard Mlodinow），这个名字你可能不熟悉，但你肯定知道斯蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》和《大设计》——这两部著作都是霍金与伦纳德·蒙洛迪诺合著的。蒙洛迪诺是一名著名理论物理学家，1981年在马克斯-普朗克物理学与天体物理学研究所当研究员，主攻量子场论。1985年，他怀揣梦想，带着6000美元去好莱坞打拼，成为《星际迷航：下一代》等剧的编剧。1993年，他又进军游戏界，成为电脑游戏制作人和设计者，与斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格、罗宾·威廉姆斯和迪士尼公司协作制作的游戏斩获了数项大奖。他同时并没有耽误写作，著有热销书《醉汉的脚步》《潜意识》《费曼的彩虹》《世界之战》，其中《醉汉的脚步》获得“编辑推荐奖”、“年度影响力书籍”，并入围英国皇家学会图书奖。他也一直没有放弃理论物理学研究，以“业余物理学家”的身份，至今仍有论文发表。
