内容简介 本书是关于我们如何从科学的视角重新认识这个世界的科普读物,阐述了宇宙、世界、生命科学视角下,对世界本源的认识,并结合生物学、数学、物理学和计算机科学知识,更加细致入微地解释我们观察到的世界中的各类现象。 在这本书中,作者希望表明我们的宇宙不仅仅是一座没有生命、毫无意义的数学机器。在我们真正了解意识和人类思想的奇迹之前,我们能真正了解宇宙吗?为了做到这一点,作者超越了物理世界去寻找答案。对于对生命、宇宙和一切事物的深层问题感到好奇的读者来说,《世界本身》是一本必不可少的读物。
中华民俗是炎黄子孙沟通情惑的纽带,是彼此认同的标志,是规范行为的准绳,是维系群体团结的黏合剂,是世世代代锤炼和传承的文化传统。在民俗中凝聚着民族的性格、民族的精神,民族的文化创造、民族的真善美。 财神是中国民间普遍供奉的善神之一,每逢新年家家户户悬挂财神像,希冀财神保佑以求财源滚滚、大吉大利;日常生活中到处可见各种招财、求财、聚财、保财的习俗,求财纳福是人类永远的心理与追求。完全可以说,财神信仰在我们的日常生活中随处可见。
