Бажання дива. Як я став науковцем. Desire For A Miracle. How I Became A Scientist

Відомий еволюційний біолог та автор бестселерів New York Times Річард Докінз у своїх спогадах розповідає про дитинство та інтелектуальний розвиток себе як науковця. Вперше перекладено українською.

У своїй першій книжці 'Егоїстичний ген' (1976) Річард Докінз запропонував абсолютно новий геноцентричний погляд на еволюцію, який став миттєвою сенсацією і кардинально змінив уявлення про біологію, гени, еволюцію і був проданий накладом понад мільйон примірників. У 2006 році Докінз знову змінив культурний та інтелектуальний ландшафти світу — його миттєвий бестселер за версією New York Times 'Ілюзія Бога'  став науковим 'демонтажем' релігії, був проданий накладом понад два мільйони примірників по всьому світу і перетворився на синонім до безжального скептицизму та пристрасних наукових дебатів.

І ось тепер, через майже пів століття Річард Докінз готовий поділитися шляхом своєї еволюції як людини і мислителя — від життя в колоніальній Кенії до інтелектуального пробудження в Оксфорді. Автобіографія 'Бажання дива' — це щира і дуже зворушлива оповідь, яка відхиляє завісу реального життя автора, в якому любов до науки, відкриттів, ідей і всього живого стали найвищим сенсом, що допоміг пробитися крізь нісенітниці до по-справжньому важливих істин.

Чому варто прочитати книжку 'Бажання дива'?

  • Вперше представлені і перекладені українською спогади про дитинство й інтелектуальний розвиток Річарда Докінза;
  • Автобіографія розкриває історію написання однієї з найважливіших книг ХХ століття — 'Егоїстичного гена', натхненну роботами Вільяма Гамільтона, Роберта Тріверса та Джона Мейнарда Сміта;
  • Особистий погляд на свої ранні роки, інтелектуальне пробудження в Оксфорді та шлях до 'Егоїстичного гена';
  • Автор знайомить із яскравою картиною ідилічного дитинства в колоніальній Африці, приправленою замальовками про минуле власних предків, батьків й особливостей життя після Другої світової війни. Із життям в школі-інтернаті, де попри майже релігійну зустріч із платівкою Елвіса, розпочалась кар'єра Докінза-скептика, який відмовився стати на коліна для молитви в каплиці. І з власне розкриттям всіх істинних здібностей під час навчання і викладання в Оксфорді.

This is the book you are looking for.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
After searching through about four different vocab books, I finally found one I can truly vouch for: Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to Digital SAT Vocabulary. Robert is actually my daughter’s SAT tutor and recommended this book. At the time, my daughter had almost given up on the vocab portion of the SAT—there were only 7 weeks left to the test date (we’re now down to just 2 weeks). Honestly, what can you achieve in that short time? Still, I decided to buy it—what did we have to lose? Because I’d already gone through so many SAT vocab books, I knew a good one when I saw it. Just flipping through the first few pages convinced me this was the right fit, and my daughter immediately got to work. The book starts with 6 sections on word roots, then moves into 26 sections of similar-meaning words. Each chapter includes a matching activity (which my daughter finds essential for retention) and ends with SAT-style practice questions. Since using this book, she spends much more time memorizing and testing words. I only wish we had discovered it earlier so she could have had more time to digest and apply what she’s learning. Before this, she was getting about 50% of vocab questions right on a good day; now, after just over a month with this book, she’s averaging 80–90%. As a side note, I’m not a native English speaker, and I’ve also learned so many words by reviewing her answers. Almost every word I’ve come across in the past and thought, “I should look this up someday” seems to be in this book—a testament to why the SAT brought vocabulary back for the digital test. This book has served my family extremely well, and I plan to start my youngest child on it earlier. Get this book, and start early.

Fantastic categories for SAT vocab
Robert’s vocab book has been a fantastic addition to my tutoring resources. My students love the ease of progression through the short chapters. It is helping tremendously with vocabulary comprehension in addition to his mock tests.
