精彩书摘

　　1. And These Are the People Who Live in the World We Live in
　　IT sounds incredible， but nevertheless it is true. If everybody in this world of ours were six feet tall and a foot and a half wide and a foot thick （and that is making people a little bigger than they usually are）, then the whole of the human race （and according to the latest available statistics, there are now nearly 2,000,000,000 descendants of the original Homo sapiens and his wife） could be packed into a box measuring half a mile in each direction. That, as I just said, sounds incredible, but if you dont believe me figure it Out for yourself and you will find it to be correct.
　　If we transported that box to the Grand Canyon of Arizona and balanced it neatly on the low stone wall that keeps people from breaking their necks when stunned by the incredible beauty of that silent witness of the forces of Eternity and then called little Noodle, the dachshund and told him （the tiny beast is very intelligent and loves to oblige） to give tile unwieldy contraption a slight push with his soft brown nose, there would be a moment of crunching and ripping as the wooden planks loosened stones and shrubs and trees on their downward path and then a low and even softer bumpity-bumpity-bump and a sudden splash when the outer edges struck the banks of the Colorado River.
　　Then silence and oblivion.
　　The human sardines in their mortuary chest would soon be forgotten.
　　The Canyon would go on battling wind and air and sun and rain as it has done since it was created.

书是好书，服务也很好，值得购买。

还没仔细看，有插图，应该挺好的。

全英文无翻译，很有追求的一本书。

于是在京东搜寻好久确定买这本，一来房龙的书英文结构不是太晦涩难懂，汉语翻译作用不是特别大，所以没有译文也无妨。二来作者手绘地图很有原本的感觉，读着也有意思。

太畅销了，好多书选好后下手慢就无货了。

世界名著典藏系列：房龙地理（英文全本）好

西方的文化主要包括圣经和古希腊罗马文化，而古希腊罗马神话又是古希腊罗马文化的支柱，所以觉得很有必要买这本书。并且小时候看过一本书，希腊罗马故事，为了重温年少，所以买来古希腊罗马文化，除了里面的人名，其他都喜欢。

还没看，差下来说还不错，主要是想各国各种体裁都看一下。
