Bitter Waters(ISBN=9781590203521) 英文原版 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

With customary depth and insight, David Bain illumines the

United States's nineteenth-century exploration of the Holy Land. To

lead the expedition, the navy tabbed William Francis Lynch, an

officer eager to enter the esteemed yet dangerous field of

Victorian exploration. Like many of his successful contemporaries,

Lynch was well-read, and possessed an independent nature, but in a

man who also preferred organization to chaos, and with a character

that tended toward the obsessive. The expedition would force a

juxtaposition of the ancient world with the modern, as the world's

newest power attempted an exhaustive scientific study of the waters

of the cradle of civilization.

Beyond its fascinating topic, Bitter Waters is full of broad

allusions from the period that demonstrate Bain's deep

understanding of America, and serve to make the work appealing for

general scholars and lay readers. Heroically engaging unfamiliar

terrain, hostile Bedouins, and ancient mysteries, Lynch and his

party epitomize their nation's spirit of Manifest Destiny in the

days before the Civil War.

With customary depth and insight, David Bain illumines the United States's nineteenth-century exploration of the Holy Land. To lead the expedition, the navy tabbed William Francis Lynch, an officer eager to enter the esteemed yet dangerous field of Victorian exploration. Like many of his successful contemporaries, Lynch was well-read, and possessed an independent nature, but in a man who also preferred organization to chaos, and with a character that tended toward the obsessive. The expedition would force a juxtaposition of the ancient world with the modern, as the world's newest power attempted an exhaustive scientific study of the waters of the cradle of civilization.

  对宋前类书的分类介绍匀称精当，对晏氏此书的面貌也勾勒的很好，文献功夫扎实，对陈尚君的相关论文补充不少。结合晏殊曾参预修撰国家地志图经的经历来揣度此书中地志部分材料选取的具体情况，推测有说服力。但恨限于学科视野，未展开讨论晏殊编撰此书的某种文化背景，更多关注了物的流转，未讨论人与物之间的互动。
