《自然百年科學經典》（10卷本）是一套英漢對照版的科學主題叢書，收錄並翻譯了國際頂尖學術期刊《自然》自1869年創刊以來發表過的近干篇精華論文，再現了過去近一百五十年間自然科學各個領域的研究人員艱辛跋涉、不斷探索的歷史足跡：從狹義相對論的提出到量子理論的日趨成熟，從同位素的發現到納米管的誕生，從研究太陽黑子到追蹤宇宙微波背景輻射，從報道蘇伊士運河通航到關注全球氣候變暖，從進化論之爭到人類基因組測序的完成……
百年自然科學的波瀾壯闊，盡在《自然百年科學經典》！本書是其中的第8卷上冊，收錄的是《自然》期刊中1993-1997間發表的論文。英漢對照。約翰·馬多克斯、菲利普·坎貝爾為英文主編，路甬祥為中方主編。
