中国的故事·最后的 豆瓣
作者: 《黑镜头》编辑部 / 《黑镜头》编辑部 花山文艺出版社 2005 - 6
31个催人动容的故事,189个真实记录的瞬间
本书汇集了中国最优秀的纪实摄影师们记录中国现实的难忘影像,它们大多曾叩动过社会的情感和所有怀有良知的心灵。当我们面对这些记录时,反省的时间会更长一些,对历史领悟会更多一些,我们在其间发现关怀和人性,以鼓荡我们的激情、痛苦、爱恋、勇气和正义感。对当今中国更多的反省和领悟将创造属于未来的意义。
中国,有这样一群人
对我们大多数人而言,我们已习惯于从电视和报刊上泛泛地了解世界。这样的习惯证明我们是幸福的,因为我们身处的环境拥有平静。当我们每天在新闻中匆匆浏览遥远的灾难和不幸时,我们几乎不会去做多少思考,更不会去领悟这些事件与故事背后,整个社会的状态和其他群体的命运。然而,有另外一群人却必须去直接面对这些。他们在或偏远或危险的地方奔波,年复一年进行着寂寞的守侯或艰苦的追踪--不仅仅是为了填充新闻或版面,更多的是成为我们正在以历的历史的证人。
The Omnivore's Dilemma 豆瓣
作者: Michael Pollan Penguin 2007 - 8
这是一本《纽约时报》畅销书。这本颇具革命意义的书改变了读者对饮食生态学的看法。金牌作家迈克尔·波伦向我们提出一个看似简单的问题:饭桌上应该吃什么?通过追溯食物链从挑选食材到端上饭桌的全过程——包括工业、有机、替代品、加工品,作者向我们描绘了一幅美国式饮食的肖像。该书提出一个让人吃惊的发现——饥饿塑造了人类进化,也谈到食物选择对人类健康乃至地球未来的深远影响。
A New York Times bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain uswhether industrial or organic, alternative or processedhe develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet.
In the Freud Archives Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Janet Malcolm NYRB Classics 2002 - 11
<i>Includes an afterword by the author</i> <br /><br /><i>In the Freud Archives</i> tells the story of an unlikely encounter among three men: K. R. Eissler, the venerable doyen of psychoanalysis; Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, a flamboyant, restless forty-two-year-old Sanskrit scholar turned psychoanalyst turned virulent anti-Freudian; and Peter Swales, a mischievous thirty-five-year-old former assistant to the Rolling Stones and self-taught Freud scholar. At the center of their Oedipal drama are the Sigmund Freud Archives--founded, headed, and jealously guarded by Eissler--whose sealed treasure gleams and beckons to the community of Freud scholarship as if it were the Rhine gold.<br /><br />Janet Malcolm's fascinating book first appeared some twenty years ago, when it was immediately recognized as a rare and remarkable work of nonfiction. A story of infatuation and disappointment, betrayal and revenge, <i>In the Freud Archives</i> is essentially a comedy. But the powerful presence of Freud himself and the harsh bracing air of his ideas about unconscious life hover over the narrative and give it a tragic dimension.

Christ Stopped at Eboli 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Carlo Levi 译者: Frenaye, Frances Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2006 - 1
It was to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi—a doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters—was confined as a political prisoner because of his opposition to Italy’s Fascist government at the start of the Ethiopian war in 1935. While there, Levi reflected on the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the same lives their ancestors had, constantly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a place and a people living outside the boundaries of progress and time.

意大利式的政治犯的劳改生活。被流放到贫穷的意大利南部山区。确实有陕西窑洞的感觉。非常有意大利风情的流放生活还可以带着狗租着画室。但是被“党支部”监视,往来信件被查看,行动被约束倒也是古今中外很统一。白描式的写作很细致。

Midnight in Chernobyl 豆瓣
9.2 (6 个评分) 作者: Adam Higginbotham Simon & Schuster 2019 - 2
The definitive, dramatic untold story of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, based on original reporting and new archival research.
April 25, 1986, in Chernobyl, was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world’s perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet’s delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.
Chernobyl was also a key event in the destruction of the Soviet Union, and, with it, the United States’ victory in the Cold War. For Moscow, it was a political and financial catastrophe as much as an environmental and scientific one. With a total cost of 18 billion rubles—at the time equivalent to $18 billion—Chernobyl bankrupted an already teetering economy and revealed to its population a state built upon a pillar of lies.
The full story of the events that started that night in the control room of Reactor No.4 of the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Plant has never been told—until now. Through two decades of reporting, new archival information, and firsthand interviews with witnesses, journalist Adam Higginbotham tells the full dramatic story, including Alexander Akimov and Anatoli Dyatlov, who represented the best and worst of Soviet life; denizens of a vanished world of secret policemen, internal passports, food lines, and heroic self-sacrifice for the Motherland. Midnight in Chernobyl, award-worthy nonfiction that reads like sci-fi, shows not only the final epic struggle of a dying empire but also the story of individual heroism and desperate, ingenious technical improvisation joining forces against a new kind of enemy.

看完了,Kindle左下角指示“51% page 372" 所以全书将近一半的篇幅都是索引,够严谨。十分唏嘘。很多牺牲(矿工,直升飞机丢沙队)最后证明都是无谓的。但是在当时的情况下又不得不为因为当时人类应对核泄漏的知识实在有限。其实就算到了今天我们又知道多少呢?跟现代医学有一拼。。。非常强烈感到能活到今天统统都是侥幸。还是及时行乐比较靠谱。不要想那么多!
