Olağandışı Yaşamlar

by James L. Gould (Editor), Carol Grant Gould (Editor), Feryal Halatçı (Translator)

Olağandışı Yaşamlar, hakkında çok az şey bildiğimiz bazı canlıların üzerindeki örtüyü aralamamızı sağlayacak bir yapıt. Dünyanın önde gelen bilim dergilerinden Scientific American'da yayımlanmış olan on iki makalenin yer aldığı kitapta, ilk hücrelerin evrimi, hayvanların ortaya çıkışı, denizin derinliklerinde ortakyaşam, Antarktik balıkları, medcezir balıkları, koalanın fizyolojisi, etçil bitkiler, karıncalar ve misafirleri arasındaki iletişim gibi ilginç konulara yer veriliyor. Kitapsever ve bilimseverlere yeni bir ilgi alanı açacağını umuyoruz.

Read this collection of articles over twenty years ago, but still remember it as very well-written and extremely informative. Of one mind with Justus (' review)

Not ever having studied much biology I'm not going to say it was an easy read. But damn I got everything I could have wanted for the extra effort it took to go through it. I think the article format works well. Nothing is super indepth but you get a set of snapshots of how different lifeforms have adapted to this world.

Maybe some of the stuff is totally outdated, but its just interesting, actually amazing to read how life has adapted on this earth. Highly recommended to anyone who is willing to put a little work into their reading time.

Dated but good. Interesting to see what the state of the art was twenty-five years ago.
