A
This book was first published in 1982---but its re-release in paperback is welcome because it is still one of the most attractive and useful guides for amateur naturalists, especially those starting from scratch.
Part of the book is devoted to experiments in the home, such as how to dissect a cockroach, keep a snake or mount a skeleton. And for those who just want to read about some of the world's richest habitats （动植物的生境）, this book is an equally good companion.
B
Rightly dubbed "the first classic of the modern environment movement," Silent Spring remains a book of extraordinary depth and prescience. If the campaign against DDT has been largely won in the developed World, there's still a fight going on in the South. But this is not just a book about the dangers of pesticides: it is an intensely evocative and powerful account of the rupture between ourselves and nature, and of the illusions peddled by politicians to justify that rupture.
C
I don't know off-hand how many adjectives and adverbs could legitimately be used to describe falling water, but I suspect Mary Welsh has all but emptied the store while guiding us to these 30 assorted spouts, gills, forces and falls.
Her aim is two-fold. She wants us to share her fascination with spumescent cataracts （that's a new one） and also her delight in birds and plants. Consequently the text reads more like a nature notebook than a walks guide.
That criticism aside, Mary Welsh writes a good deal better than most guidebook authors, while the complementary pen drawings by Linda Waters add their own charm. Most of the chosen waterfalls lie within gentle strolling distance of the road and, this being Yorkshire, you can expect a cathartic jolt from the contrast between the quaint and the bleak, the pastoral and the wild.
D
No animal inspires fear in humans quite like the great white shark. Whoever produces an effective shark repellent will become an overnight millionaire—and people are presently engaged in such a quest.
Yet, as Cousteau explains in this handsome book, the great white shark attacks human flesh only occasionally, probably for no better reason than that the flesh was in the way or that the shark wondered what it was.
In fact Cousteau found it difficult to attract sharks for his research, for not only are great whites threatened by commercial and sports fishing （increasingly popular since Jaws）, but they also reproduce rarely.
Based at Dangerous Reef in southern Australia, a team of 40 experts studied the life of the great white for two-and-a-half years, tagging, tracking and observing from specially-bulk steel cages. This absorbing account of Cousteau's quest to understand this mysterious creature is terrifyingly illustrated.
E
In 1956 Chairman Mao took a swim in the Yangtze, the great river that effectively divides China in a line from Tibet to Shanghai. He was intent on reviving a project that had been smouldering since the 1920s: to harness the notoriously violent waters with a vast dam at the easterly end of the river's upper reaches, the breathtaking Three Gorges.
Decades on, the foundations of the Three Gorges dam are already being laid. If the project continues, it will be the biggest, most expensive dam in the world. Should it be a failure, as many experts predict, it would rank as one of the worst man-made disasters.
This and other similar tales of river exploitation—the proposed Mekong staircase of dams in Vietnam, superdams for Nepal for example--are the meat of Pearce's study. As the world's waterways seem set to become one of the great battlefields of the environmental movement in the Nineties, he points to the folly of numerous grandiose schemes. If we intend to replumb the planet, are we sure we know what we're doing?
F
The message in Wilson's book is mostly not new: man is in imminent danger of precipitating a biological disaster of catastrophic proportions, as species disappear at the rate of 27,000 per year, 74 a day, three an hour.
Shock-horror statistics that we've all heard before. Yet probably never has the story of evolution been told as eloquently, or with such a galaxy of biological detail. We learn, for example, how spiders travel through the air, spinning web filaments long enough to be carried on the wind, like a balloon, and how the Californian acorn woodpecker is adapted to save its brain from destruction; above all we learn of the importance of interdependency of species. Yet far from being depressing, this account of the world's complex evolution and current crisis is thoroughly inspiring. What can we do about it? Make an urgent survey of global biodiversity, says Wilson, before it's too late.
G
The whale has come to symbolise everything that's both good and bad about our relationship with other creatures, and this wonderful book describes the whale's life and being with unforgettable drama. But you can't just imagine all this; you've got to feel it, be seized by it, let go for it. Heathcote Williams's poetry does all of that with knobs on （尤其突出地）.
H
Farmer, poet, essayist, philosopher, naturalist, Wendell Berry is a really unique person. A love of the land combines with a love of the English language to produce that rarest combination of true profundity accessible to all. If every world leader had to spend a month working on Wendell Berry's farm in Kentucky, then we could do without any further Earth Summits! Reading his book is the next best thing.

Love at first sight
It was love at first sight, I suppose. And yet it wasn't just the way she looked. It was also the way she talked.
We'd been for a stroll in the country, one lazy, hazy summer Saturday. I felt about sixteen again--walking close enough for our hands to keep touching in the hope that she might hang on.
At a little country pub overlooking Evesham vale, I popped the inevitable question.
"I'll have a Jameson,'' she replied.
"A what?"
"A Jameson. You know, the famous Irish Whiskey."
"Oh,' I said somewhat blankly.
"Haven't you tried it?" she
