[英文原版]REALLY SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHNG 比尔 布莱森:万物简史 基本信息 出版社: Corgi Childrens (2010年9月2日) 平装: 176页 语种: 英语 ISBN: 0552562963 条形码: 9780552562966 商品尺寸: 27.8 x 21.4 x 1.4 cm 商品重量: 499 g 图书描述 Bill's own fascination with science began with a battered old schoolbook he had when he was about ten or eleven years old in America. It had an illustration that captivated him - a cutaway diagram showing Earth's interior as it would look if you cut into it with a large knife and carefully removed about a quarter of its bulk. And he very clearly remembers thinking: 'How do they know that'? Bill's story-telling skill makes the 'How?' and, just as importantly, the 'Who?' of scientific discovery entertaining and accessible for all ages. In this exciting edition for younger readers, he covers the wonder and mysteries of time and spa
[英文原版]Catch-22(Paperback)/JosephHeller 第二十二条军规 作者 : Joseph Heller 出版社: Vintage Classics 副标题: 50th Anniversary Edition 出版年: 2011-6-23 页数: 544 定价: GBP 7.99 装帧: Paperback ISBN: 9780099529125 Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, 50 years on the novel's strength is undiminished. Reading Joseph Heller's classic satire is nothing less than a rite of passage. Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. His real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. If Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he flies he is crazy, and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he must be sane and has to. That's some catch.

Remains of Elmet 特德 休斯诗集:爱密特废墟 Ted Hughes (作者) 基本信息 出版社: Faber Faber (2011年9月15日) 平装: 88页 语种: 英语 ISBN: 0571278760 条形码: 9780571278763 商品尺寸: 12.9 x 0.8 x 19.7 cm ASIN: 0571278760 内容简介 "The Calder valley, west of Halifax, was the last ditch of Elmet, the last British Celtic kingdom to fall to the Angles. For centuries it was considered a more or less uninhabitable wilderness, a notorious refuge for criminals, a hide-out for refugees. Then in the early 1800s it became the cradle for the Industrial Revolution in textiles, and the upper Calder became 'the hardest-worked river in England'. Throughout my lifetime, since 1930, I have watched the mills of the region and their attendant chapels die. Within the last fifteen years the end has come. They are now virtually dead, and the population of the valley and the hillsides, so rooted for so lon
