I'm sure many people, like me, have heard stories about how to escape from bears when they were young, to the effect that when we encounter a bear, we can't find a way to escape, but just lie down and pretend to be dead. For such a statement, I believe that many people and I have always believed in it, and have always believed that bears really do not eat carcasses.
It wasn't until I read such a popular science book about natural biology today, "An Unserious Naturalist", that I realized that this was actually a misinformation. Because in this book the author explicitly tells us: "Bears that have just woken up from hibernation are very hungry, very irritable, and will desperately eat the grass and animal carcasses around them. So if we come across a bear lying down, it will inevitably become a meal for the bear.
Therefore, for us readers, we must not learn about science through stories, let alone improve our corresponding knowledge through hearsay and pictures, the best way is of course to accept the popular science of rigorously trained writers, so that we can learn correct and useful knowledge.
Andis Chenfeng, a member of the Hebei Writers Association and the China Science Writers Association, his popular science works have been loved and welcomed by the majority of readers. This "A Serious Naturalist" is his representative work, so that readers can learn a lot of popular science knowledge of natural creatures through this work, and can also introduce the natural knowledge and humanistic culture related to these creatures through the author's side research, so as to complete a comprehensive three-dimensional popular science.
For example, the bear we mentioned above, in this popular science about bears, we not only understand that bears eat corpses, but more importantly, we also understand that the author is derived from the story into popular science, which makes his popular science articles interesting to read.
And what about the rest of the knowledge related to bears? Here the author first takes us through the myths and legends related to bears. There is a legend about the origin of the Oroqen people, that is, they believe that they are the descendants of the bear, just as we Han people are considered to be the descendants of the dragon, the Oroqen people think that they are the descendants of the bear.
So for a beast like a bear, can we humans domesticate it? So here's the story of humans domesticating bears. Humans can make bear-like beasts perform many activities that meet human expectations through intensive animal training, which can be seen in circuses.
But the author also suggests here that this is actually a kind of cruelty to animals, a cruel activity, and an activity that is not promoted, so it is not surprising that the circus is now neglected.
Of course, when we think of bears, we also think of bears, the ethnic Russians, but what is going on here?
What about the other creatures in this book? The author introduces a large amount of biological-related knowledge to us according to the four categories of mountains and jungles, rivers, lakes and seas, plains and deserts, and homes and courtyards.
For the sake of beauty and visualization, each creature is also specially illustrated for us, which is very Chinese-style. Moreover, each organism also has a corresponding Latin scientific name and specific biological classification, which satisfies our need for knowledge.
Let's go into the popular science about nature through such an interesting popular science book, and understand the natural knowledge of these creatures and the humanistic and social information extended from them!#一本不正经的博物志##博物##科普#
