- Аннотация: The present book is to fulfill two functions.First, it is a brief guidebook aimed at familiarizing readers with the main concepts of the modern natural sciences. This guidebook is mainly intended for students (bachelors and especially masters) majoring in ecology, environment, natural resource management, and related fields. One specific subgroup of students I have in mind are those belonging to the MSU-BIT University of Shenzhen, where I have had a chance to give a course of lectures and seminars on the aforementioned subject. Nonetheless, I hope the book might also come in useful for other educational institutions with similar agendas. Therefore, the book gives special attention to the ramifications of the natural sciences that are of relevance to present-day global ecological/environmental issues as related to the life sciences. I believe in the special mission of biology in the 21st century in terms of organizing the whole edifice of modern-day natural sciences. Despite the special attention given to the life sciences, the guidebook also provides a comprehensive overview of the subjects that are in the focus of attention of the natural sciences ranging from physics to chemistry, astronomy, geology, geography, etc. It is assumed that the students already possess some basic secondary school-level knowledge concerning elementary physics, chemistry, and especially mathematics. The emphasis is placed in these lectures on the relationship between the natural sciences and modern-day global ecological/environmental problems and issues. This does not imply that the lectures will be of no relevance to academic audience with a different background. It is hoped that students intending to specialize in other natural and social sciences will also find this brief course of lectures sufficiently useful. Second, the present book is to be considered a relatively easy-to-read primer that deals with the history and the present-day state-of-the-art of the modern natural sciences. It aims to help the reader come to terms with the dazzling world of scientific research with its mind-blowing discoveries affecting the life of the whole humankind. One of the main messages to be conveyed by this short book to the audience, irrespective of their background, national identity, and religious /political views, is that the whole impressive edifice of the Natural Sciences is no longer a shelter for egg-headed nerds residing in ivory towers. In fact, all modern sciences are very actively involved in global world-reshaping technological, cultural, and economic processes; present-day scientists and scholars around the world bear a great responsibility with regard to their activities that undoubtedly have important implications for global social developments. For instance, most nuclear physicists are surely aware of the applications their research has already found, in terms of power stations and nuclear weapons, and, still more important, is likely to find in the nearest future.
