Famous works that have also been made into movies。
The story proceeds with the monologue of the linguist Louise。
It was interesting.。
I also enjoyed the other novels of the title story.。
There was a short story called The Tower of Babylon, but it represents the Tower of Babel.。
There was also a work that used it as a motif in Bruegel's paintings.。
In my university's English textbook, Bruegel's work called "The Proverbs of the Low Countries" was used as the subject.。

- The Door to Summer Robert A. Heinline (Written by) / Masami Fukushima (Translation) Hayakawa Shobo (Publishing House) / ハヤカワ文庫SF 2010年1月25日 (Release date) Kindle version (Format) Sci-fi works by overseas artists。 The main character, Daniel Boone Davis (Dan), is a mechanical engineering engineer.、He was running the company with his best friend Miles and his lover Belle.。 But、She is betrayed by her two who got engaged to a friend and is taken over by the company.。 The hero who despaired、30Do you want to wake up in 2000 after 20 years of frozen sleep ?。 そこからストーリーが動き出していく・・・ SFだが、It was pretty easy to read in my impression.。 It's a happy ending at the end.、That's good.。 There were many things that left an impression on me.。 That's one of the scenes where the main character speaks as an engineer.。 Engineers don't have to be mathematical physicists.、If the surface is blurred enough to be applied to the actual surface, it will be enough for use.。 After that, industrial technology is a technology that is more in accordance with the present than anything else.、It is said that it often suffers from the technical level of the age in general than the talent of one engineer.。 Maybe that's the way it is.。 Besides、What was interesting was the scene where the main character provoked Dr. Twitchell.。 "What's your paper?、That's nothing that's been forbidden.、I was spelled out in a file that put useful tank papers.。 And、The Defense Department guys.、時々引っ張り出しちゃおもしろがってまわし読みしてるんだ」 (9章、電子書籍のためページ数不明) この後も主人公がトウィッチ博士をバカにする。 これには笑ったw ちゃんと「埋もれた天才」という本を出版してあげないといけないな。 Also、I was touched by the letter from John Sutton.。 Meet someone as good as John.、The main character was lucky.。 At last、He says he has to send his cat Pete to long frozen sleep.、ピートが死んでしまうということかな? それとも、Until treatment that extends the life span in the future is possible、Do you want me to sleep?。 I thought it would be nice if Pete could discover the door to summer。
- Howat Iife?:What happens if you throw a baseball at the speed of light? Randall Munro (Written by) / Michiyo Yoshida (Translation) Hayakawa Shobo (Publishing House) 2015June 24 - (Release date) Kindle version (Format) The author worked as a roboticist at NASA after、He is said to be a person who became a web cartoonist.。 "Love and irony、数学と言語のウェブコミック」というサイトを運営しているらしい。 This book is、Submitted to a submission site derived from it、A compilation of answers to various questions about science from readers.。 It seems to have become a bestseller in the United States.。 question. If you try to hit a baseball thrown at 90 percent of the speed of light、どんなことが起こりますか? ――エレン・マクマニス (「相対論的野球」、電子書籍のためページ数不明) 上のようなおかしな質問を、While the author uses science to have a sense of humor、We will answer with all our might.。 1One answer is quite voluminous.、I thought the author had researched and thought a lot.。 What I personally found interesting were the following themes:。 「相対論的野球」 「使用済み核燃料プール」 「レーザー・ポインター」 「元素周期表を現物で作る」 「最後の人工の光」 「半分空のコップ」 「惑星間セスナ」 「ヨーダ」 「軌道速度」 「フェデックスのデータ伝送速度」 「いちばん寂しい人」 たとえば、In "FedEx Data Transmission Rate"、It says that the transmission speed of the Internet is slower than the speed of the data that FedEx delivers.。 "The data transmission speed of the station wagon, which is piled up with a pile of tape and runs at breakneck speed on the highway,、ゆめゆめあなどってはならない」 ――アンドリュー・タネンバウム (「フェデックスのデータ伝送速度」、電子書籍のためページ数不明) 僕はインターネットが速いものだと思っていたので、This made me feel like scales from my eyes。 Also、In "The Loneliest Person"、It was written about who was the most alone in humanity apart from others.。 Here appeared、The story of an astronaut named Mike Collins of Apollo 11 made me cringe.。 He was the one who remained alone in lunar orbit as a command ship pilot.、In his book, "Carrying Fire: An Astronaut's Journey," he wrote:。 Now I'm alone、I'm Really Alone、And、Completely separated from all known creatures。I am just "it" that has nothing to do with others。If you count the number of people、On the other side of the moon is 3 billion plus 2 people、On this side、Who besides one person、Or God Only Knows What's Going On、be。 ("The loneliest person")、電子書籍のためページ数不明) 宇宙空間に一人でいるなんて、I get anxious just imagining it.。 Another thing that impressed me was the story of otaku.。 In the "Interplanetary Cessna"、About the people who made the X-plane flight simulator、In "Yoda"、I couldn't help but laugh when I read that Star Wars fans publish detailed information about Star Wars on a site called Wookieepedia.。 There are enthusiastic enthusiasts in some field in the world.。 I thought it would be nice to find something I liked so much。
- Genes、I can change it.。-The truth of epigenetics that fundamentally changes your life シャロン・モアレム (Written by) / 中里 京子 (Translation) ダイヤモンド社 (Publishing House) 2017年4月19日 (Release date) Kindle version (Format) 何となくライブラリにあった本書を読んだ。 It was interesting.。 僕は生物を習っていないのだが、メンデルのえんどう豆の両親の遺伝子を継承するという考えが有名なのは分かる。 しかし最近ではこの考えは完全に誤っているらしく、フレキシブルな遺伝という考えがありDNAは常に改変され続けるらしい。 遺伝子の発現は行動、食事、思考、環境、ストレス、薬などで変わるのだ。 エピジェネティクスというのは1世代のあいだに遺伝形質がどのように変化し、変化させられるか、さらにはその変化がどのようにして次の世代に引き継がれるかを研究する学問だという。 それなら遺伝子によいインパクトを与えたいと人が思うのは自然な事だろう。 And、メンデルの優性遺伝、劣性遺伝の考えが見過ごしたのは表現度の差みたい。 This is、同じ遺伝的変異や遺伝子疾患を受け継いでも、重症度や症状の内容に差が出る事だという。 個々人に必要な栄養や薬が効くかどうかも遺伝子次第らしい。 For instance、アジア人は歴史的に乳製品を作るための牧畜が盛んではなかった地域にいたため、ミルクと乳製品に消化不良を引き起こすかもしれない。 The rest、希少疾患を持つ人に対する研究のおかげで医学の研究分野は発展すると書かれていた。 人間はみな、一握りの劣性突然変異をかかえている。 僕が知らなかっただけで、昨今、遺伝子検査は既に一般的なものなのかもしれない。 人生に役立てば素晴らしいだろう。 ニュートリゲノミクス(栄養ゲノム情報科学)、ファーマコジェネティックス(薬理遺伝学)、エピゲノミクス(生物の設計図であるゲノムに起こる変更・修正が、遺伝子の働き方をどう変えるかについて研究する分野)など新たな研究分野も誕生しているのだな。 気をつけないといけない事もメモしよう。 妊娠中は飲酒を完全に控える、ビタミンEのサプリメントは飲まない、タバコは吸わない、身長を伸ばす目的で子供へ成長ホルモン剤を使わない。 The rest、サプリメントよりは普通の食品がいいのかもしれない。
