Books that use popular language to express science can not only give a glimpse of the beauty of the scientific world, but also avoid a lot of boring text descriptions. The following are the popular science books I recommend for you that are suitable for high school students. I hope they can help you.
Popular science books suitable for high school students 1: Does God Play Dice
Author: Cao Tianyuan
This book takes readers on a quantum journey. Starting from the age of myth, along the path of quantum development, you will personally experience the dark clouds and heavy rains in the history of science, chase the glow of meteors, cross the fog and dangerous shoals, and fight side by side with the greatest physicists.
In addition to reviewing the basic historical background, we will also explore the future, explore different paths in front of quantum theory one by one, break into uncharted territories, and expand our territory with the pioneers. What is amazing is not only the dazzling and gorgeous scenery along the way, but also the thinking and revelation deep in people's hearts - that is the irresistible charm of science deeply rooted in everyone's heart.
Popular science books suitable for high school students 2: The Selfish Gene
Author: [English] Richard Dawkins
Dawkins in The breakthrough contribution of "The Selfish Gene" is that this important part of the social theory based on natural selection is introduced to everyone in a concise and popular form and in interesting language for the first time.
He shockingly proposed in "The Selfish Gene" that the basic unit of natural selection is not the individual but the gene. Human beings have glimpsed the basic symmetry and logic in social relations. After we have a fuller understanding, our political opinions will regain their vitality and provide theoretical support for scientific research in psychology. In the process, we will also come to a deeper understanding of the many sources of our suffering.
Three popular science books suitable for high school students: From One to Infinity
Author: [American] G. Gamov
"From One to Infinity" ": Facts and Conjectures in Science" is one of the most influential science popularization classics in the world today. After it was introduced and published by Science Press in the late 1970s, it caused great repercussions in the country and directly influenced many science popularization workers.
The work introduces some major advances in science since the 20th century in vivid language. First, we talked about some basic mathematical knowledge, and then used some interesting metaphors to explain Einstein's theory of relativity and the four-dimensional space-time structure, and discussed how humans understand the microscopic world (such as elementary particles, genes) and the macroscopic world (such as the solar system, galaxies, etc.) ) achievements.
Four popular science books suitable for high school students: The Beauty of Mathematics
Author: Wu Jun
Introduction to "The Beauty of Mathematics": A few years ago, "The Beauty of Mathematics" "This series of articles was originally published on Google Blackboard, received millions of clicks, was widely disseminated by enthusiastic readers, and received high praise. Readers said that after reading "The Beauty of Mathematics", they discovered that the mathematical knowledge they learned in college, such as Markov chains, matrix calculations, and even the cosine function, turned out to be so familiar and lifelike, and that they discovered that natural language and information processing are so interesting. Really understand the famous saying "Mathematics is the queen of science".
Five popular science books suitable for high school students: The King of All Diseases
Author: [American] Siddharth Mukherjee
"The King of All Diseases" Wang: A Biography of Cancer is a social science and cultural work full of humanism. The author Siddharth Mukherjee spent six years explaining to readers the origin and development of cancer and the history of mankind's fight against and prevention of cancer with the help of detailed historical materials, professional documents, media reports, patient interviews and many other information. The author reveals a kind of social care through medical, cultural, social, political and other perspectives; the vivid and literary writing technique shows vivid characters and historical events, making readers moved.
Six popular science books suitable for high school students: "The Book of Understanding the Small Things"
"The Book of Understanding the Small Things" is a popular science book about quantum mechanics by an independent scholar. It is easy to understand and inspiring for beginners. Full. Quantum mechanics is an extremely wonderful theory, which has caused the most intense controversy and concern among scientists. From a practical perspective, it has brought us unparalleled changes and progress; from a scientific history perspective, there is almost no period of history that is more exciting and moving than the creation of quantum mechanics.
"Knowing the Little Things" starts from the EPR dispute between Einstein and Bohr, along the development path of quantum mechanics, taking you through the dark clouds and rainstorms in the history of science, and the greatest physicists. Think together and think boldly. "Seeing the Small Things" describes the collision of classical physics and quantum mechanics in a humorous and questioning tone, as well as the difficult development process of quantum mechanics from scratch to controlling the entire microscopic world, and reviews many classic experiments of quantum mechanics. Friends who have read it must still be fresh in their memories and have endless aftertaste.
The author uses the language of "post-80s" to describe quantum mechanics and the exploration of scientists. Although this book is about quantum mechanics, it puts forward many novel viewpoints. He believes that the world of quantum mechanics is deterministic, and has made his own understanding of the electron double-slit experiment, Schr?dinger's cat, the unity of physical fields, wave-particle duality, and the clock-slow-foot-shrinking effect. As the author said: "The function of science popularization is to inform everyone of knowledge, and it is also to inspire everyone."
