《医疗大趋势——明日科学》
读者评价：
当今世界，科学技术，尤其是生物技术的飞速发展，给众多领域带来了革命性的进步。这种进步，一方面为人民的健康带来了显而易见的益处，但另一方面，由于普及程度不够，很多人未能获悉这些技术，不能从中受益。比如，对于急性心肌梗死病人，早期通过介入技术或溶栓治疗就可以开通阻断心肌血流的血栓，降低心肌梗死病人死亡的危险，但实际上很多人从来没有听说过这种先进的手段，在犹豫和疑惑中延误了治疗时机，没有享受到科技进步带来的福利。从这一方面讲，及时了解一些相关的知识，在关键时刻是可能会有起死回生效果的。

In basic words, Dr Schimpff "gets it" and does a great job in relaying his message in layman's terms. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of personalized medicine.
——By Santi
Dr Schimpff has written about complex subjects in terms that are understandable to everyone--those with and without any scientific background. He has summarized changes that have taken place in the practice of medicine and delivery of Health Care through our lifetime and shares with us what the future will hold.
——By K. F. Spence Jr.
The author has an excellent way of describing complex technologies in plain language that a lay person can understand. At the same time, those who have a scientific background should not be disappointed: the book contains sufficient detail for the non specialist to benefit.
——By A.Joseph
As a layperson and sometime patient the book gave me a clear picture of the many innovative non-invasive treatment options that are currently available and so many more options that are on the horizon. The book is also a guide for patients and their family/friend caregivers how to deal with physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers, and how to be advocates for their own health care.

《哥德尔：逻辑的困境》
读者评价：
“哥德尔的科学理性主义与他本人个性之间的冲突在这本详实的传记中得到了充分体现。”
——《出版人周刊》（Publishers Weekly）
“我觉得这本书很好，文笔一流。在关于哥德尔的谜团和传言的许多方面都处理得很仔细。这本应当是最棒的。”
——斯科特（Dana Scott），卡耐基•梅隆大学，1976年图灵奖获得者
“道森的哥德尔传在许多方面生动有趣，向所有对逻辑，数学基础或数学史感兴趣的人强烈推荐。”
——《美国工业和应用数学会评论》（SIAM Review），巴斯（Sam Buss），加州大学数学与计算机科学教授
He provides the most accurate picture available of the real Godel- in contrast to the anecdotal, 'crazy-genius' stories you see elsewhere.
——By Jason T
Having catalogued Godel's works and personal papers, Dawson saw aspects of Godel's life that perhaps no one short of his wife had seen.
While the mathematics is often abstract, as can be expected, Logical Dilemmas is a mesmerizing read.

《跳跃的无穷》（大发现系列丛书）
读者评价：
Reading this book is a little like sitting in on a class taught by an inspiring yet quirky professor (and, indeed, Wallace makes frequent reference to an inspiring, quirky teacher of his own).
——By Thudlow Boink
A penetrating book from a serious amateur on some of the most important ideas from nineteenth and twentieth century mathematics.
——By R. Hardy “Rob Hardy”
Wallace does the best that I think any writer could in walking the tightrope between over-the-top technical mare's nests which only a few members of the faculty at Mathematics departments (and a few autodidacts) could grasp, and what he derides as the "Pop" accounts of such things as the development of Set Theory.
——By Daniel Myers
Reading "Everything and More" was like being trapped in a literary version of Zeno's Paradox: Finishing half the book, then struggling to complete half of what remained, then half of that ... I finally just gave up, disillusioned.
——By Charles Meyerson
He's done an excellent job of "popularizing" the philosophy and mathematics of the infinite (if his readership can really be considered popular), but with the emphasis much more on the history than the philosophy or mathematics.
——By Kenneth K. Easwaran “keaswaran”
I got the feeling that there was a lot of explanation going on that wasn't necessary(& was just sort of showing off) and a lot of things that demanded more time that were skipped.
——By J.L.Brown
I am a physicist with a math minor. To me, the best part of this book was his explanation of why mathematicians insist on the epsilon-deltas of mathematical rigor. No one ever did that before. If I could have read this in high school, I probably would have finished my math major as well as my physics major.

《大流感——最致命瘟疫的史诗》（哲人石丛书）
The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history
Amazon编辑推荐
Barry captures the sense of panic and despair that overwhelmed stricken communities and hits hard at those who failed to use their power to protect the public good. He also describes the work of the dedicated researchers who rushed to find the cause of the disease and create vaccines. Flu shots are widely available today because of their heroic efforts, yet we remain vulnerable to a virus that can mutate to a deadly strain without warning. Society's ability to survive another devastating flu pandemic, Barry argues, is as much a political question as a medical one.
——Publishers Weekly
Easily our fullest, richest, most panoramic history of the subject.
——The New York Times Book Review
读者评价：
作者超越历史，为我们还原了一段人类历史上悲壮的一幕，引人深思。我们看到了美国的医学是如何从不为人知发展到今天全球领先的地位。我们不得不感叹于美国科学家医学家的敬业奉献。
——neocrystal
In The Great Influenza, John Barry has produced a massive and exhaustively researched description of one of the greatest disasters of human history. At least, from the American point of view.
In any case, Barry has produced a massive and important work of epidemiological history which is, at the same time, as readable as a thriller.
——By Robin Wolfson “Reliza”
Well worth reading to understand how precarious the general health of society could be.
——By Thomas Duff “Duffbert”
I appreciated the great detail used in explaining the scientific rigor in trying to understand the disease that was plaguing the country and world. All the dead ends and false leads with persistent desperate scientists trying to find the answers in the midst of horror.
——By Patricia Kramer
As rough and unsound as this book is, it leaves a real awareness of our human vulnerability and the extremity of various dire consequences that humankind may someday face in an inevitable confrontation with the next or succeeding pandemics.
——By Chewievuew
This book was pretty good. It really got into detail about the influenza epidemic and why it was so bad. My only problem is that sometimes there was too much information. The book skipped from one area to another then back. It became confusing at times. Not a light read but a good one.
——By C. Nichols “cynnich”
《数学丑闻：光环底下的阴影》（发现数学丛书）
Mathematical Scandals
Amazon编辑推荐
Pappas' passion for math has produced many previous winning titles: this presents a new vision for exploring math, examining deceptions and math problems which take the form of challenging vignettes and examples. Even reluctant math users will find the blend of intrigue and social history involving. -- Midwest Book Review
读者评价
I found this book to be rather disappointing. As a mathematician, I was appalled at some of the errors made by the author (such as printing an incorrect value for the square root of two). The title promises intrigue and answers, but fails to deliver. I do not recommend this book.
——By A Customer
This book is chockfull of half-baked and poorly written vignettes. What is unforgivable is that these scenes are fictional.
——By David scott Goen “dsgoen”
You do not have to be a mathematician to read and enjoy this book. This book shows that math has not been created by logical, unemotional, robots, but instead by flesh and blood men and women who have all the foibles of ordinary folks.
——By A Customer
《数学犹聊天——人人都有数学基因》（发现数学丛书）
The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved And Why Numbers Are Like Gossip
Amazon编辑推荐
In its wealth of wonderful examples supporting the central argument, The Math Gene bears comparison with Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct, and its plain common sense about this most misunderstood of subjects is inspirational. Thoroughly recommended for anyone seeking to rid their intellectual closet of the skeleton of mathematical "incompetence." --Robert Matthews, Amazon.co.uk
Devlin (Goodbye, Descartes) asks and attempts to answer the question, "How and why did human beings evolve the ability to do mathematics?" His point is that mathematics is more than arithmetic.—From Library Journal
In the same mathematical reasoning that inspired Plato with visions of eternal ideals, Devlin finds evidence for a provocative theory of evolutionary change……So in exploring the mysterious beginnings of the mind's symbolic powers, he takes us a long way toward understanding what it means to be human. --Bryce Christensen，Booklist
读者评价：
The book's greatest strength, to my mind, is its gathering of results in cognitive psychology into a coherently developed thesis regarding the origins of mathematical ability. It's a worthy contribution to the discussion, even if the theory proposed is completely wrong, as it may well be. Devlin's open and clear about it being highly speculative.
——By A Customer
"The Math Gene" is reminiscent of Julian Jaynes' "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" in this way; a fascinating argument that we may never be able to test. However, it's thought-provoking and plausible, and left me, at least, convinced of its likely truth.
——By Mike Christie
No clue as to how people who have struggled with Math can use this gossip ability to help them learn and appreciate Math at any level.
——By Gary Rubinstein
