火星救援 The Martian于2015年11月25日以IMAX3D格式在中国大陆上映 媒体评论 1,虽然现在才三月,但是这本书很有可能成为我的Book of the Year。一句话概括内容:一个被误以为死翘翘而遗弃的宇航员马克在荒凉火星声孤独生活的549天。听起来有点无聊?一点也不!每一天都惊险刺激且趣味横生。一个又一个事关生死的难题摆在马克面前,被他一次又一次用意想不到的巧妙方式解决。除了故事精彩,我最喜欢它的一点是马克那种面对问题不怨天尤人感伤哀叹,而是骂娘之后埋头解决问题的工程师精神。这本书应该成为全世界所有工程师创新思维和解决问题技巧的教科书!最后为我们中国航天骄傲!oops,好像不小心剧透了。 补充说明,书里涉及的科学原理只不过是中学物理化学程度,并不高深如《三体》,所以文科生不用担心看不懂。但是人人都懂的科学原理

Ray Bradbury s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television family. But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television. When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discov
