新书掠影 A quick glimpse at some new books
1997年俄罗斯在北极点插上国旗,宣布对这片地区及其丰富的油气资源的拥有权。从那开始,这里就吸引了全世界的目光,一场钻探权的竞赛就此展开。在本书里,理查德·塞尔和尤金·波塔波夫对这一地区的历史、居民、野生动植物和地缘政治上的重要性进行了深入的阐释。
When Russia planted a flag at the North Pole in 1997, claiming the territory – and its rich gas and oil resources – the world watched with concern. A race for drilling rights began. Richard Sale and Eugene Potapov examine the history of the region, its inhabitants, wildlife and geopolitical importance.
野生动物学家珍·古道尔集合了一组案例研究,探索各种濒危动物以及拯救他们免受灭绝的方式。以黑足釉、红狼、加州兀鹫为例,这几种动物先前在野外已几乎灭绝,人类通过圈养繁育计划将它们保护起来,然后再将之放归山林。
Field biologist Jane Goodall brings together a clutch of case studies to explore the different types of endangered species and the ways in which each has been rescued from extinction. The black-footed ferret, the red wolf and the California condor, for example, were saved by captive breeding programmes and reintroduced to the wild, where they had previously died out.
