《自然百年科学经典》（10卷本）是一套英汉对照版的科学主题丛书，收录并翻译了国际顶尖学术期刊《自然》自1869年创刊以来发表过的近干篇精华论文，再现了过去近一百五十年间自然科学各个领域的研究人员艰辛跋涉、不断探索的历史足迹：从狭义相对论的提出到量子理论的日趋成熟，从同位素的发现到纳米管的诞生，从研究太阳黑子到追踪宇宙微波背景辐射，从报道苏伊士运河通航到关注全球气候变暖，从进化论之争到人类基因组测序的完成……
百年自然科学的波澜壮阔，尽在《自然百年科学经典》！本书是其中的第8卷上册，收录的是《自然》期刊中1993-1997间发表的论文。英汉对照。约翰·马多克斯、菲利普·坎贝尔为英文主编，路甬祥为中方主编。
