都市型男风格指导：现代男性手册/METROSEXUAL GUIDE TO STYLE

作者：  Michael

出版社：中山大学出版社 2003年12月

简介：
For those who avoid the style pages, the newly minted term "metrosexual" refers to a man with a sense of fashion and a taste for culture, who loves to shop and look good, and may be of ambiguous sexual orientation. According to journalist Mark Simpson, the metrosexual "might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object." Metrosexual wannabes who need some style pointers will find their questions answered in Flocker's handy manual. Like an extended episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the guide gives readers a crash course on music, film, art, home decorating, dating, fitness and grooming at the same time that it teaches them an updated version of Emily Post manners. All the while, the author, a sometime actor and sometime features editor for AOL Time Warner, dispenses his advice with the playful tone of a witty, club-hopping mentor. "Every man can benefit from a little self-improvement," he writes in his introduction. "Just as you regularly upgrade your computer, your car and, hopefully, your underwear drawer, you can upgrade yourself to become a player in the new era of the metrosexual man." Though Flocker's suggestions are occasionally too dogmatic-he advises readers to always drink imported beer, for example-this guide is a timely capitalization on the recent news articles about metrosexuals, and it approaches its material with thoroughness, warm humor and, yes, style.

林肯/Lincoln

作者：  David

出版社：Scribner 1996年11月

简介：
　　Winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, most recently for Homeward: A Life of Thomas Wolfe (LJ 12/86), Donald proves himself the superb biographer of Lincoln, though two recent biographies, Michael Burlingame's The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln (LJ 4/1/94) and Merrill Peterson's Lincoln in American Memory (LJ 10/1/94), are both important studies. Donald's profile of the 16th president focuses entirely on Lincoln, seldom straying from the subject. It looks primarily at what Lincoln "knew, when he knew it, and why he made his decisions." Donald's Lincoln emerges as ambitious, often defeated, tormented by his married life, but with a remarkable capacity for growth?and the nation's greatest president. What really stands out in a lively narrative are Lincoln's abilities to hold together a nation of vastly diverse regional interests during the turmoil and tragedy of the Civil War. Donald's biography will appeal to all readers and will undoubtedly corral its share of book awards. Highly recommended for all libraries.?Boyd Childress, Auburn Univ. Lib., Ala.

风风雨雨看投资TREND WATCHING

作者：  Insana

出版社：音像供货 2002年12月

简介：
CNBC anchor Insana (The Message of the Markets) has chronicled past investment fads and bubbles to provide lessons to prospective and current investors. He asserts that it's "not enough to study, observe and comment on financial folly." Investment fads will continue to happen, and by using historical information investors may recognize the signs of an impending bubble. The author devotes most of the chapters to describing the fads and bubbles that have occurred over the years, such as the Dutch tulip mania of the 1630s, the feverish interest in plank road companies in the 1840s and 1850s, the surge in closed country funds in the late 1980s, and the bull market of the 1990s. The chapters "Trendwatching" and "Endwatching" offer advice on how to identify a mania while it is happening and describe the effects on the investor and the stock market when a bubble bursts. The last chapter contains questions and answers for analyzing the possibility of a future "hard asset" bubble. While well written and offering valid suggestions, this work is better as an historical read than for its predictive value. Recommended for public and corporate libraries.

Other People＇s Children其他人的孩子们

作者：  

出版社：

简介：
Best-selling English writer Trollope, who has a following here as well, has the knack of rendering people's lives with infinite clarity and truth. Here she plumbs the effects of divorce and remarriage on children, as Josie and Matthew marry and try to create a family with her son and his three children. This is no Brady bunch, but the emotionally messy world of children (and adults) is so palpably real that the reader will know them as well or better than their own children. Those who have read Trollope (e.g., The Best of Friends, LJ 5/15/98) know that her endings are never simple, happily ever after, and one outcome here seems similar to that in The Men and the Girls. Nevertheless, her writing and characterization place her far above the commonplace. Highly recommended.?Francine Fialkoff, Library Journal

　　‘The title epitomizes Esbensen’s creative presentation of animportant concept: how whales differ from the fish they seem toresemble and share characteristics with other mammals.… Anexcellent addition to the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Outseries.’—K.‘Introduces a full range of information about whale anatomy,development, and behavior.… Esbensen’s simple, informative textkeeps its young audience clearly in view.’—BL.

　　PreSchool-K-This series entry discusses the ways whales differfrom fish, resemble humans, and the features that make them uniquecreatures of the sea. Using a picture-book format with ratherclunky paintings, the simple text introduces children to the commonaspects of all warm-blooded mammals. Esbensen focuses on thehumpback whale and compares it to cats, dogs, horses, pigs, andhumans to establish their commonalities. The humpback life cycle isdescribed and illustrated, a cut-away drawing of a museum displayshows a glimpse of blubber and internal organs, and a world mapshows where these mammals live in winter and summer. A few otherspecies are mentioned, and contacts for whale-watching tours arelisted.

The Future of Life生命的未来

作者：  

出版社：

简介：
The eminent Harvard naturalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Wilson marshals all the prodigious powers of his intellect and imagination in this impassioned call to ensure the future of life. Opening with an imagined conversation with Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond, he writes that he has come "to explain to you, and in reality to others and not least to myself, what has happened to the world we both have loved." Based on a love affair with the natural world that spans 70 years, Wilson combines lyrical de*ions with dire warnings and remarkable stories of flora and fauna on the edge of extinction with hard economics. How many species are we really losing? Is environmentalism truly contrary to economic development? And how can we save the planet? Wilson has penned an eloquent plea for the need for a global land ethic and offers the strategies necessary to ensure life on earth based on foresight, moral courage, and the best tools that science and technology can provide. -- Lesley Reed --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
　　From Publishers Weekly
　　Legendary Harvard biologist Wilson (On Human Nature; The Ants; etc.) founded sociobiology, the controversial branch of evolutionary biology, and won the Pulitzer Prize twice. This volume, his manifesto to the public at large, is a meditation on the splendor of our biosphere and the dangers we pose to it. In graceful, expressive and vigorous prose, Wilson argues that the challenge of the new century will be "to raise the poor to a decent standard of living worldwide while preserving as much of the rest of life as possible." For as America consumes and the Third World tries to keep up, we lose biological diversity at an alarming rate. But the "trajectory" of species loss depends on human choice. If current levels of consumption continue, half the planet's remaining species will be gone by mid-century. Wilson argues that the "great dilemma of environmental reasoning" stems from the conflict between environmentalism and economics, between long-term and short-term values. Conservation, he writes, is necessary for our long-term health and prosperity. Loss of biodiversity translates into economic losses to agriculture, medicine and the biotech industries. But the "bottleneck" of overpopulation and overconsumption can be safely navigated: adequate resources exist, and in the end, success or failure depends upon an ethical decision. Global conservation will succeed or fail depending on the cooperation between government, science and the private sector, and on the interplay of biology, economics and diplomacy. "A civilization able to envision God and to embark on the colonization of space," Wilson concludes, "will surely find the way to save the integrity of this planet and the magnificent life it harbors."

　　Grade2–3—Rockwell introduces 11 different types of clouds according totheir positions in the atmosphere. Besides the basics—fog, cirrus,stratus, and cumulus—she also provides information aboutcirrostratus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, altostratus, altocumulus,nimbostratus, and stratocumulus. The author describes each type ofcloud formation, explains where it is found in the sky, and tellswhat kind of weather is associated with it.

编码理论中的未解之谜

作者：  David

出版社：哈尔滨工业大学出版社 2019年12月

简介：

《编码理论中的未解之谜》表现形式新颖且强调对象的计算性质，探讨了大量仍然存在于编码理论中的未解决问题。数据在噪声信道上的可靠传输涉及历史悠久但与数学高度相关的分支——纠错码理论。尽管纠错码在不同的环境中已经大量使用，比如NASA的“水手9号”飞船拍摄的*张火星表面特写镜头是用Reed-Muller码传回地球的，但是编码理论仍包含一些有趣的问题。而且迄今为止，问题的解决方案仍被一些当代著名数学家反对。
　　该书利用SAGE（一种开源的免费数学软件系统）解释作者的想法，首先介绍了线性分组码的背景知识及一些后续章节所需的特殊码，例如二进制剩余码和代数几何码。其次概述了自对偶码、格及不变量理论相互作用定理，该理论得到了Duursmaζ函数与有限域上代数曲线相关的ζ函数间的一种有趣类比。然后剖析了分组设计定理和阿斯莫斯一马特森定理间的联系，仔细分析了“小”维数超椭圆泛函方程在有限域上解数量的非平凡估计的棘手问题，找到了二进制线性分组码的渐进界。*后讨论了模形式和代数几何码的一些不可思议的问题。
　　该书适合从事代数编码理论相关研究的研究生和学者参考，尤其是感兴趣找出目前未解决问题答案的那些人。若读者了解代数、数论和模形式等理论，该书也可作为编码理论相关的研究生课程或自学的补充读物。
