    Books for 2009

    在amazon上给自己买了几个新年礼物,三本书。08年的十大blog上说到了书,09年也不能少,所以就早早的预备了起来。 我向来看书很少,脑子缺乏从小说文字描述到真正人物场面图画的想象力,所以小说故事类的书是不属于我能看的。

    说来这三本书也不是随便买的,其中一本是很老套,很葵花宝典,但是我从来没有看过的书。 Charles Darwin 的 “The origin of Species". Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Theodosius Dobzhansky 的这句话真的很经典,尤其是在这个以制造paper为目的的时代,物种起源应该是一本不错的,很急需的典籍吧,希望我能看得懂。

    还有一本书和去年的”in pursue of genetics ..."有着一样的生世。也是实验室的印度朋友和我说起这本书,然后说他可以借给我看。接下来就是同样的每个礼拜三天的催促,最后还是没有能等来这本书。amazon上看看也不贵,就买下来了。 书名叫“ phanotoms in the brain" 。一听名字说的就是离奇的人脑袋在不正常的工作的时候给人带来什么样的幻觉的故事。

    最后一本叫”mapping the mind". 人脑应该是世界上最复杂的迷宫,我不奢望我能了解它的全部。希望这本书能给我带来一些浅薄的认识。

    Graduate study本来是只有时间看paper没有时间看书的岁月。所以忙里抽闲看这些书,不是为了消磨时间,而是为了消除无知带来的恐惧。
