生存的危機,也可能是演化的轉機!
看人類的祖先如何在每個危機中保住生命!

  • 什麼?我們人類是從這些奇形怪狀又柔弱的古生物演化來的?
  • 那些遠古時代的霸主們憑什麼橫行無阻?又為什麼消失無蹤?
  • 原來除了「強悍」,還有另外一個因素,對生存更重要!


  歡迎來到生物演化的世界!在地球46億年的歷史之中,發生過各種危機,古生物的演化故事,也是一群弱者勇於求生的故事!

  不演化,就滅絕!
  所謂「古生物」,代表這些生物早就不存在於地球上,只存在於化石中,其中又分為「演化的生物」與「滅絕的生物」,這本書要說的,就是「人類」如何演化至今的故事。。

  5億年來,從皮卡蟲到人類的演化軌跡
  本書的主角「皮卡蟲」是一種身長只有6公分的海洋生物,沒有堅硬的外殼或強悍的四肢,由於身軀柔軟,更是容易成為其他獵食者的美食。弱弱的皮卡蟲為了求生,演化出可以幫助逃跑的「脊索」,聽起來有沒有覺得這個皮卡蟲好像很厲害,但牠面對危機,就真的只會逃。

  然而,正是這個外型像蛞蝓、超級弱小、只會逃跑的古生物,就是人類5億年前的老祖宗,如今支撐我們能夠站直的脊椎就是從脊索演化而來,從皮卡蟲、真掌鰭魚、食果猴、一路演化到南方古猿,這些人類祖先遭遇了什麼危機,又是如何透過演化成為新的生物,克服危機傳承生命,本書帶領讀者見證人類祖先頑強的求生意志。

  6種常見動物的演化傳承
  在廣大的地球上,不是只有人類才有精采的演化,像是大象、長頸鹿、鯊魚等,也是經歷從遠古時期,一代又一代的演化與傳承,才變成我們如今熟悉的模樣。

  透過認識這些動物的祖先們,讀者可以了解到,每種生物都有屬於自己獨特的演化軌跡與生存智慧,正因為有這麼多古老的前輩在一次次的危機中,奮力演化求生,如今的地球才能有這麼豐富又美麗的生態。

  9種不可思議的奇特古生物
  本書精選9種各具不同特色的古生物,有時代的霸主、飛行的先驅、最早的眼睛,當然還有奇特到讓科學家完全分不清楚頭尾前後的怪誕生物。

  遠古的時代,這些生物能適應並且繁衍壯大,其中不少生物存活的時間都非常長,雖然後來因為地球的劇變而滅絕,但從這些老前輩的崛起與滅絕,可以讓我們對自身的生存,以及與環境的關係,有著更多的省思。

  5次地球生物大滅絕
  從5億年前至今,地球前後發生過5次大規模的生物滅絕,從板塊運動、火山爆發、隕石撞擊,每次危機的範圍都覆蓋全球,所有的生物都逃不過,「不演化,就滅絕」成為所有生物面對的現實。

  現實往往比想像更離奇,
  顛覆你對演化與生存的想像,重新認識生命的奧祕。

  古生物的故事顛覆我們過往對生命的認知,當天崩地裂的危機來臨,許多站在食物鏈頂端的霸主們,就此從地球上滅絕,反而是不放棄希望的弱者們,奮力改變自身以適應環境的劇變,在每一場危機後,用嶄新的姿態再次面對世界,原來,生存的危機有多大,生命的潛力就有多大。

  《危機就是轉機,古生物生存圖鑑》全書充滿寫實又活潑的古生物繪圖,搭配有趣的文字解說與對話,讓你對古生物的認知,不再只停留在化石上的模糊印象,而是能夠穿越時空和這些地球的老前輩們做朋友,滿足你對古生物知識的好奇與渴望。

  本書所談論的主題是「演化」,除此之外,世界上還隱藏著各式各樣令人渴望探究之謎,遇上問題的時候,只要努力找出「為什麼」,最後就能嘗到「原來如此」的驚奇與感動。你願不願意藉由探究,打開通往驚奇與感動的大門呢?但願本書能夠成為驅使你願意付諸行動的一份鼓勵。

An indispensible Hebrew Language resource.
Format: Hardcover
This book is an amazing resource for anyone who has completed preliminary Hebrew such as with Pratico and Van Pelt in their Basics of Biblical Hebrew. This book goes above and beyond, it gives the diagnostic origin patterns for adjectives, patterns in noun formation as well as other components of speech, contrasts each of the seven major verb forms and the minor forms as well, and gives an excellent evolution of the utilization of the Hebrew language and its update in characters. It explains in its initial history a lot of unique statements in the Torah, and illustrations throughout give the reader an excellent idea about the Hebrew Scriptures. I bought this to aid in designing a language studies course at seminary and it has stood me in great help so far, going beyond anything I would have expected to get out of an intermediate level grammar and is an amazing, invaluable, and priceless resource, both to the professor, and the student. I recommend all people taking Hebrew purchase this book and add it to their collection and read it through cover to cover as well as using it as a topical reference guide.

can potentially be overwhelming
Format: Hardcover
This is a good resource for introduction to syntax. However, the vast amount of examples has benefits as well as disadvantages. The benefit is that it is comprehensive in information which makes it good for a reference. The disadvantage is that the many subcategories can cause one to be discouraged as the quantity of information may be overwhelming. Nonetheless that is the nature of learning a language. It is still a good resource if you can maintain the brain power to understand the technical language if you have a novice background to linguistics. The volume could be more pedagogical however that would cater to the self learner and perhaps that was not the intent of the author. This volume seems to be designed for the classroom setting. However it is still decent for the self learner.

Favorite Hebrew Reference Book
Format: Hardcover
This is the Hebrew grammar that I use the most often. While I also use Williams and Arnold and Choi, this grammar is more comprehensive, and its size certainly reflects this. It probably betrays my inclination towards the exactness of Greek to like this grammar so much. As my Hebrew professor often tells us, all these grammar categories are contrived to some extent, so at some point it isn't helpful anymore to go further in depth on the uses of the so-called "cases." All in all, I usually find it easy to locate the grammatical point in which I am interested, though sometimes I have to resort to looking up every instance a Hebrew particle occurs throughout the book. For this looking up of various nuances of a particle, I sometimes find Williams more user friendly. Nevertheless, Waltke and O'Connor's volume has been my resource of choice.

deep
Format: Hardcover
If you are a serious student of Hebrew this is the only way to go. The book explains how the language is built from the ground up. If you are like me you have found learning Hebrew challenging (that's a joke). I have tried learning vocabulary, rote memorization, even coming up with silly English sentences to help me remember words (The goddess "Hera" is quick) (sad, I know). This tool is essential approaching the language from the building block side of things and I am now able to look at the prayer book and recognize forms and tenses I never understood before. It is for the serious student who REALLY wants to learn the language.

Can't do Without
Format: Hardcover
I have been a fan of Gesenius for a long time. While I knew there was updated information to consider, I thought his text was enough. But although his text is certainly still necessary, and necessarily covers issues that the book reviewed here does not, it is clear that one must turn to Waltke & O'Connor to reach a greater level of accuracy. Writing so long after Gesenius, they have presented new and accurate information based on the latest research, not only of Ancient Hebrew, but also based on cognate Semitic languages. I have found the sections on Hebrew verbs the most enlightening and correcting, e.g., that the Pi'el stem is NOT intensive. Such intenseness must be detected from a combination of the lexical verb meaning, the stem, and the text/co-text. This book also presents other up-to-date information on the forming of nouns from verbs, etc. As others have noted, the layout and presentation is great. It really can't be presented any easier, I don't think. One must read Gesenius, for he presents very important information across the board, including much on phonology and linguistics not covered by Waltke & O'Connor. But to stick with Gesenius will leave one in error on some points. Waltke & O'Connor, simply put, make the corrections and make studying Biblical Hebrew exciting, and even much easier to learn.
