摘自 Wolfram 本人blog
I spend most of my time trying to build the future with science and technology. But for many years now I’ve also had two other great interests: people and history. And today I’m excited to be publishing my first book that builds on these interests. It’s called Idea Makers, and its subtitle is Personal Perspectives on the Lives & Ideas of Some Notable People. It’s based on essays I’ve written over the past decade about a range of people—from ones I’ve personally known (like Richard Feynman and Steve Jobs) to ones who died long before I was born (like Ada Lovelace and Gottfried Leibniz).
The book is about lives and ideas, and how they mix together. At its core it’s a book of stories about people, and what those people managed to create. It’s the first book I’ve written that’s fundamentally non-technical—and I’m hoping all sorts of readers without deep technical interests will be able to enjoy it.

From one of China’s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction available in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last thirty years, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate his country’s meteoric transformation.
Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular—“people,” “leader,” “reading,” “writing,” “Lu Xun” (the name of one of the most influential Chinese writers of the twentieth century), “disparity,” “revolution,” “grassroots,” “copycat,” and “bamboozle”—China in Ten Words reveals as never before the world’s most populous yet misunderstood nation. “Disparity” illustrates the mind-boggling economic gaps that separate Chinese citizens. “Copycat” depicts the escalating trends of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And “Bamboozle” describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, Yu Hua suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society.
Characterized by Yu Hua’s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the “Chinese miracle” and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer—among China’s most influential—living in China today.

Historian and author, Simon Sebag Montefiore presents a fascinating series on Jerusalem: the place where God meets man, the shrine of three faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the most fought over city in history. Montefiore explains how Jerusalem – established by King David 3,000 years ago was fought for and shaped by Kings and Emperors and how the holiness of the city was intensified by myths and fables, borrowed and refined between religions. He then explores how this peerlessly beautiful city rose from a crumbling ruin after the crusades to become a world centre of Islamic pilgrimage, the object of rivalry between Christian nations, a holy refuge for Jews from all over the world and, ultimately, the site of one of the world's most intractable conflicts.

本书是一本以轻松的笔调讲述的科学实验史，这些实验有喜有悲。有的实验者因此断送了婚姻，结束了科学研究生涯；有的实验尽管从来没有进行过，却引来了媒体铺天盖地的报道宣传。有的实验令人作呕，有的实验堪称恐怖，有的实验具奇幻色彩，有的实验引发了社会伦理问题。
不管怎样，疯狂本身不是目的，它只不过说明了人类的求知欲。无论何时何地，无论什么样的人，都有通过自己的方式了解未知世界的愿望。

这本书更像是悬疑小说，一个一个悬念抛出，查阅无数资料后，再给出最贴近历史的解答……这个时代需要这样的书，让不是医学专业的读者去了解医学的发展及医学的局限。

作者用讲故事的方式描述了心脏外科的发展，文笔流畅，内容引人入胜，可读性强。此种写作方式很值得提倡，不然科学似乎太枯燥了，其实并非如此。
——中国工程院院士 黄志强
有激情，有曲折，有遗憾，有坚持，单论情节就堪比好莱坞大片。再加上真实性和科学性，这是比小说更精彩的科普文。

谢谢你的文章，我一直跟着在第一时间阅读。我的小孩出生后诊断为室间隔缺损，在十个多月的时候做的手术，我永远忘不了在手术室外度过的几个小时。

我出生时就是四联症，父母在很困难的情况下借钱带我去医院做了手术，那时我五岁，做手术前的情形现在很能记得，指甲盖都是紫色的。现在我二十三岁了，刚刚从一所重点大学工科毕业。感谢我的父母没有放弃我，感谢有你们这些外科医生的探索……如果有能力，我要去帮助那些先心病患儿。
