內容簡介
在與世隔絕的中國西南地區,建造橫越靑藏高原的鐵路運輸,一直是中國半世紀以來的夢想.不難想像,以往的嘗試均告失敗,由於靑康藏高原的面積為法國的三倍,海拔高度達五千公尺,相當於埃佛勒斯峰的一半高度.在天氣.地形.地震與海拔等種種不利條件之下,工程團隊必須在世界屋脊之上建造靑藏鐵路.偏遠險惡的靑藏高原,又有”地球第三極”之稱,也是世上地震最活躍的地區之一.攝氏零下40度的冷凜氣溫.深達半公里的永凍土.超高的海拔,加上季節變化劇烈,工程團隊必須採用創新的方式與技術建造鐵道,包括隧道牆面的多層隔熱,以防止永凍層的雪融造成塌陷,還有特製的氧氣裝備,提供22萬7千多名施工人員使用.

本書簡介

The Brooklyn Bridge is a pre-eminent global icon. It is the world’s most famous and beloved bridge, a “must-see” tourist hotspot, and a vital fact of New York life. For almost a hundred and forty years it has inspired artists of all descriptions, fueling a constant stream of paintings, photographs, lithographs, etchings, advertising copy, movies, and book, magazine, and LP covers. In consequence, the bridge may have the richest visual history of any man-made object, so much so, in fact, that almost no major American artist has failed to pay homage to the span in some form or other. Oddly, however, there are no books currently available that chart and discuss the bridge’s visual history or its role in the development of American (or Western) art. This monograph aims to correct that, providing a full visual record of the bridge from the origins of its conception to the present day. It is a celebration of the bridge’s glorious visual heritage timed to appear when the city will celebrate the span’s 125 th birthday.

書評：
This new edition of a classic reference in microbiology is put together well. In over 1,000 pages, this book covers the multiple topics and techniques used to investigate microorganisms. With the previous edition of this book over 10 years old, this update was necessary to include the many new investigational tools developed since then. The purpose of this book has remained constant over the years. The previous versions have become the standard source of information for microbiologists in all fields. This book is the “first source for traditional methods of microbiology as well as modern molecular biology.” The new version includes new methods and theories as well as new areas of microbiology. All scientists and students of microbiology will find this book a valuable resource. It is written at a level appropriate for professional scientists as well as training scientists. All of the chapters are well organized and are written by well established scientists familiar with both the science and technical details. This book covers both the theory and practical considerations of the various techniques used to study microorganisms. The different sections cover microscopy, analysis of enzymatic reactions, microbial metabolism, and molecular analysis. The authors emphasize the need for multiple types of analyses in order to answer the multiple questions in microbiology. Each chapter contains the basic background and historical information needed to understand the new methods and each method is presented in detail that makes it easy to follow. There is also discussion of potential problems and how to avoid them. In some cases the authors have listed the equipment and reagents needed to successfully use the technique. It is hard to improve on success, but this latest edition of a treasured classic has exceeded expectations. The original edition was my first “real” microbiology textbook and it will be good to have an up-to-date version. This latest edition can be relied upon to teach the new generation of scientists and will remain a treasure in my collection of classic references for many years.

內容簡介

　喬治．霍格出生在中產階級的家庭，從小就在一流的學府接受完善且正統的教育，在校也是風雲人物，可以想見前途一片光明；然而，難以扭轉的時代力量卻將他送往了另一個不可知的方向。

　　就像南美洲革命英雄切．格瓦拉一樣，充滿對世界進行全新探索熱情的喬治，離開學校後也曾在類似的動機驅使下，在美國進行了一場屬於自己的長征。然後他到達正值戰亂的中國，憑著滿腔的熱血和初生之犢不畏虎的記者專業，將一篇篇記錄中國狀況的文稿，送到他鄉，送回故鄉，送回他的父母手上。

　　直到歐洲也蒙上二次大戰的陰影，直到他自己都身陷中國這塊神祕的亞洲大陸，卻還是不顧危險帶領著六十餘名的學生翻山越嶺逃離戰火的範圍，一心只想為他們找一個能安心長大的地方……

本書特色

　　直到許多許多年後的現在，他的故事才從無數的報導、書信中被整理、挖掘出來，讓我們看見一個人如何在動盪不安的環境下，單單憑著一股良善的信念，成為一個不平凡的人。

　　本書?發自真實的故事，講述一個年輕的英國記者喬治．霍格，在日本佔領中國的一九三○年代，帶領六十個孤兒院裡的男孩，克服重重困難，穿越白雪靄靄的高山，經過蒙古沙漠的邊緣，跋涉一千英哩，找到得以安身立命的地方，並從此一過程中，學會勇氣與生命的真諦。喬治．霍格的故事原本早已被時間的煙晨所掩蓋，然而就像那些被辛德勒所拯救的猶太人並未將他忘記一般，那些曾在喬治的羽翼之下成功逃離戰地的孩子們，即使現今已垂垂老矣，仍然未曾忘記曾有一個年輕的外國人，是那樣的親切、善良、博學、充滿對世界的熱情，並且願意自我犧牲只為了那些僅是浮生相遇的，孩童時期的自己。所以，他們為他設立銅像紀念，為他平反歷史謬誤的污名，為了他而努力使自己的生命充滿價值。而也是這樣深刻的情感，讓我們現在得以看見這本書，讀到一個偉大的人物　　。

內容簡介：
During his career in pharmaceutical research and development, Brown (GlaxoSmithKline, Collegeville, PA) has witnessed the expansion of the viewing of comparative genomics as a venture confined to understanding pathogens and the “holy trinity species” of medical research (mouse, rat, and human) to the genomes of reptiles, birds and other mammalian species as models for human disease. Eighteen chapters, divided between basic and applied research, show cross-fertilization in the field. Initial chapters review challenges and methodological advances in DNA sequencing technology accelerating the generation of new genomic data, and the somewhat controversial “deep” evolution study of species. Applied chapters address the utility of comparative genomics in drug discovery research, treatment of infectious agents and diseases such as cancer, and improvement of crops.
