故事梗概:
家人一个接一个离开。从十岁起,她就独自生活在北卡罗来纳州海滨荒凉的湿地中,驾着小船,靠猎捕和收集野物卖给码头的人维生。她只上过一天学,是小镇居民口中的“湿地女孩”,文明社会之外的野姑娘。当镇上最受欢迎的花花公子被发现死在湿地中时,人们立刻将怀疑的目光投向她。
作为天生的 湿地生物学家,她从土地中汲取生活的教训,从萤火虫不诚实的信号中学习世界真正的运行方式。到了渴望触摸和爱的年纪,受到两个来自小镇的年轻人的吸引,她向一种全新的生活开启了心扉……
若干年后,她成了当地的传奇,小镇旅游业的名片。但这本书要讲的并不是一个女孩冲破重重阻碍走向光明的励志故事。荒凉的湿地养育了女孩,也塑造了她。她关于爱情和生活的选择听从的是荒野的召唤,而非文明社会的教导……

编辑推荐:
这本书讲述了一个终生栖息于一片海滨湿地的野女孩的成长故事,诗意而野性。
被家人和社会彻底抛弃是烙在她生命中的不幸,但在另一种意义上也是她独有的幸运。这意味着她也彻底躲开了文明社会对女性的种种规训。她就像湿地中的一只小兽,有美丽的皮毛,也有凌厉的爪牙。湿地养育了她,也塑造了她。她的初恋始于一根大蓝鹭的“眉毛”,她最忠诚的朋友是银鸥和库珀鹰,她关于爱情、婚姻、性和背叛的看法源自对萤火虫、螳螂、火鸡和蛙的观察。她的生活和生长在世俗文明中的我们的生活迥然不同。这种不同为我们提供了一面镜子。

Where the Crawdads Sing 豆瓣
7.2 (16 个评分) 作者: Delia Owens Putnam 2018 - 8
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.
Thing Explainer 豆瓣
作者: Randall Munroe Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2015 - 11
Have you ever tried to read up on some incredible part of the world, only to find yourself faced with incomprehensible terminology and jargon? It’s nice to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it’s even more interesting to know what they do. What if you had something that could clearly explain it all using simple words?
Thing Explainer, by Randall Munroe, does just that. Using line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, “ten hundred”) most common words, he provides simple explanations for some of the world’s most interesting things: our food-heating radio boxes (microwaves), our very tall roads (bridges), and our computer buildings (datacenters). He also explains the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells).
Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone—age 5 to 105—who has ever wondered how things work, and why.
Adulthood is a Myth 豆瓣 Goodreads
8.7 (12 个评分) 作者: Sarah Andersen Andrews McMeel Publishing 2016 - 3
Do you love networking to advance your career? Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared? Ugh. Please go away.
2016 GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS!
These casually drawn, perfectly on-point comics by the hugely popular young Brooklyn-based artist Sarah Andersen are for the rest of us. They document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, and dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. Oh and they are totally not autobiographical. At all.
Adulthood Is a Myth presents many fan favorites plus dozens of all-new comics exclusive to this book. Like the work of fellow Millennial authors Allie Brosh, Grace Helbig, and Gemma Correll, Sarah's frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious.
A Court of Wings and Ruin 豆瓣
作者: Sarah J. Maas Bloomsbury Childrens Books 2017 - 5
Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit—and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords—and hunt for allies in unexpected places
The Knitter's Book of Yarn 豆瓣
作者: Clara Parkes Potter Craft 2007 - 10
Not all yarns are alike and it happens far too often that we use the wrong type of yarn for the wrong project - sometimes with disasterous results. In these pages, Clara Parkes provides in-depth insight into a vast selection of yarns, giving you the inside stories behind the most common fibre types, preparations, spins and ply combinations used by large-scale manufacturers and importers, medium-sized companies, boutique dye shops, community spinneries and old-fashioned sheep farms. And, because we learn best by doing, Parkes went to some of the most creative and inquisitive design minds of the knitting world to provide a wide assortment of patterns created to highlight the qualities (and minimize the drawbacks) of specific types of yarns. "The Knitter's Book of Yarn" will teach you everything you need to know about yarn: How it's made, who makes it, how it gets to you, and what it wants to become. The next time you pick up a skein, you won't have to wonder what to do with it, you'll know intuitively.
Lab Girl 豆瓣 Goodreads
7.1 (7 个评分) 作者: Hope Jahren Knopf Publishing Group 2016 - 4
An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime friendship; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see the natural world
Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she’s studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book is a revelatory treatise on plant life—but it is also so much more.
Lab Girl is a book about work, love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren’s remarkable stories: about her childhood in rural Minnesota with an uncompromising mother and a father who encouraged hours of play in his classroom’s labs; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and learned to perform lab work done “with both the heart and the hands”; and about the inevitable disappointments, but also the triumphs and exhilarating discoveries, of scientific work.
Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with a brilliant, wounded man named Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them from the Midwest across the United States and back again, over the Atlantic to the ever-light skies of the North Pole and to tropical Hawaii, where she and her lab currently make their home.
Jahren’s probing look at plants, her astonishing tenacity of spirit, and her acute insights on nature enliven every page of this extraordinary book. Lab Girl opens your eyes to the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal. Here is an eloquent demonstration of what can happen when you find the stamina, passion, and sense of sacrifice needed to make a life out of what you truly love, as you discover along the way the person you were meant to be.

作者: Tad Hills Schwartz & Wade 2006 - 1
Here is the first book in the popular Duck & Goose line of picture books and board books. This New York Times Bestseller and ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book stars two unforgettable characters and is filled with humor that young children will appreciate—and recognize! Like James Marshall’s George and Martha, and Rosemary Wells’s Benjamin and Tulip, Duck and Goose have to work at getting along. You see, Duck doesn’t much care for Goose at first, and Goose isn’t fond of Duck. But both want the egg that each claims to be his. As the two tend to their egg, and make plans for the future, they come to appreciate one another’s strengths. And when a bluebird points out that it isn’t really an egg—it’s a polka dot ball—the two are not dismayed. After all, it is a lovely ball. . . .
