YOU ARE HERE: A PORTABLE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE
Book ID/图书代码： 02630514B73587
English Summary/英文概要： “You Are Here is not just physics for poets, but as close to poetry or music as science is ever likely to get. Christopher Potter’s narrative is as imaginative, ingenious, and elegantly concise as it is user-friendly.” — Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind
“A personal, brilliant, and often amusing account . . . . An idiosyncratic, encyclopedic blitzkrieg of a book.” —The Boston Globe
“The Verdict: Read.” — Time
Christopher Potter’s You Are Here is a lively and accessible biography of the universe—how it fits together and how we fit into it—in the style of science writers like Richard Dawkins, Bill Bryson, and Richard Feynman, as seen through the lens of today’s most cutting-edge scientific thinking.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “《你在这里》不只是诗人的物理学，更是我们可能获得的科学的诗歌或音乐。克里斯托弗•波特的叙事富有想象力和巧妙，并优雅简洁让读者容易理解。”——希尔维亚•纳赛，《美丽心灵》的作者
“一个有个性的，辉煌的和非常有趣的解释. . . . 一本特殊的和百科全书式的书。”——波士顿环球报
“一本决定性的书。”——时代
克里斯托弗•波特的《你在这里》是一本生动而有趣的宇宙传记——它是如何拼凑成一个整体的，我们是如何适应它的——风格有点像科普作家理查德•道金斯、比尔•布莱森科和理查德•费曼的风格，通过当今最尖端的科学思维的镜头来审查地球。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：“科普名著……是一本包括相对论，量子理论和进化论以及反物质那令人难以置信的性质的书，反映了宇宙大爆炸，讨论了自然的形成和人类命运的奇迹。我想这是我读过的最好的科普书之一。它完全符合出版前审查和史蒂芬•弗莱的广告宣传：一本美妙、神奇的书：整个宇宙会为你的高兴装瓶。’”——卫报
博学，优雅，构造巧妙……整本书都很美妙，是近几年来考虑最全面的科普书，并附有理查德•道金斯的精致纲要，现代科学著作的牛津之书，对外行最有用。”——星期日时报
“许多年来，我一直偷偷渴望有人牵着我的手，带我穿越时间和空间——有人会和我一起惊叹每一个奇怪的遭遇，并撒满他的科学话语与诗句。就好像克里斯托弗•波特所做的。”——达瓦•索伯尔
“A popular science masterpiece…It’s a book that encompasses relativity theory, quantum theory, evolutionary theory, the mind-boggling nature of antimatter, that reflects on the big bang, and wonders about the nature of being and the destiny of our species. It is, I think, one of the best popular science books I have ever read. It fully lives up to the hype generated by the pre-publication reviews and by Stephen Fry’s blurb on the dustjacket: ‘A wonderful, miraculous book: the whole universe bottled for your delight.’” — The Guardian
“Erudite, elegant and thoughtfully constructed…This is all wonderful stuff, the most thoughtful pop science book of the last few years and, along with Richard Dawkins’s fine compendium, The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing, the most useful to the layman.” — The Sunday Times
“For many years, I’ve secretly longed for someone to take me by the hand and walk me through time and space — someone who would marvel with me at every strange thing we encountered and pepper his scientific discourse with lines of poetry. This is what Christopher Potter has done.” — Dava Sobel
