《海风下》是卡逊的处女作,是 海洋三部曲 之开篇。该书记录了北美东海岸海洋动物的行为及其生存和死亡等现象,可谓一部海洋百科;但它却没有百科的枯燥,描写细致,结构精巧,语言十分优美。海洋生命的鲜活、自然特有的温暖跃然纸上。相比于《寂静的春天》的激昂,《海风下》给人以宁静的感觉,既适合孩子,也适合成人阅读,是珍贵的关于大海的故事。

It has been a mute witness of Chinese history stretching back more than two millennia. It is the largest ancient defense pro- ject constructed over the longest span of time. Since there was a historical record of the two Chinese characters Chang Cheng (Great Wall) in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BCE), the work of building and maintaining it has been a co
Since China's tidal wave of Reform and Opening reached Shanghai in the early 1990s, the city has developed at a pace that has astounded observers and broken all historical precedent. Yet on December 3, 2002, an event occurred that accelerated developments to a new pitch of feverish activity: Shanghai won its bid to host the 2010 World Expo, at the 132nd general assembly of the Bureau of International Exhibitions (BIE), held in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The future shifted,and the city went wild.

《上海建筑(英文版)》是作者王唯铭的代表作。庞大体量的建筑崛起于上海四方,它们无一例外地被水平与垂直这两个向度所表述。水平向度上,我们看到许多精彩的新空间形式联接了老上海精妙的水平向度建筑;垂直向度上,超高层这种新空间形式的生成,成了164年以来海派建筑变迁的主流,这由超高层新空间在物理意义上的不断攀登,从1933年的国际饭店到1984年的上海宾馆到1998年的金茂大厦到2007年的环球大厦得到确证,不断上升、不断成长、不断冲刺,这是164年以来海派建筑呈现的一个为重要的基本现实,这也是164年以来发自这座城市内心深处的一种隐秘而强烈的欲望。

My tenth journey in Ningxia will have been the longest and the one I will have completed with the most meticulous observation, as this time it was a matter of collec- ting stories and accounts to share with you, the readers. After introducing the wonderful people of China's largest region, Xinjiang, last year, I focused on the smallest one of the country's continent. How rich are the human resources and how great and moving were the stories the Ningxia people had to tell me! From the army veteran Du Licheng, who became engaged at 16 in the Liberation War, to the imam of Nanguan Mosque where, on July 1, 1997, several Hongkong Mus- lims came to celebrate their return to the motherland; from the famous writer Zhang Xianliang, who set up a "Chinese Hollywood," to the four Hui or Han university students who, even though very young, have already performed kind and memorable acts; from Bai Chunlan, an illiterate peasant who, in 28 years, planted 100,000 trees by herself, to Wang Youde who, since 1985
In such an era of cultural assimilation, when bulldozers nudge their way toward the increasingly fewer Beijing hutong and siheyuan, and Shanghai linong, it is not only the old city districts that are declining; the unique Chinese architecture, culture and lifestyle are vanishing with them. Fortunately, the vast territory of China is still dotted with old townscapes dating back thousands of years, carrying on the continuous history and civilization of China. Zhouzhuang, Fenghuang,Hongcun, Tongli, Pingyao, Luodai, Lijiang, Dali ...these old towns enjoy their own tranquility, far from the din of the cities, and exude their own distinctive flavor and delicacy without the pompous magnificence of imperial palaces. Their names are beautiful symbols of China because of their small picturesque bridges, flowing waters and local houses that have long been portrayed in Chinese ink and wash paintings, numerous exquisite brick,stone and wood carvings, arches erected to commemorate chaste widows, a welter of ethnic customs
