Work and Other Sins 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Charlie LeDuff gives his incomparable take on the city and its denizens-the bars, the workingmen, the gamblers, the eccentrics, the lonesome, and the wise.

Work and Other Sins is filled to burst with stories of the fascinating, one-of-a-kind characters who populate the modern metropolis. In these pages we meet a Long Island used-car salesman; a professional Santa; the men who change the light bulbs atop the Empire State Building; a Sinatra imitator; a retired Harlem chorus-line girl; a lighthouse keeper; a saloon priest; Latin lovers; a host of barroom regulars; and myriad others-all of whom present their take on working, drinking, gambling, dying, and countless other facts of life. Charlie LeDuff takes us to the watering holes, prisons, veterans' hospitals, firehouses, apartment buildings, baseball fields, and graveyards that make up the landscape of modern life. Also included is LeDuff's acclaimed series of articles on Squad One, the Brooklyn firehouse that suffered devastating losses on September 11, as well as his Pulitzer Prize-winning piece on workers in a North Carolina slaughterhouse.

LeDuff captures the spirit of the people and places he profiles with a dead-on feel for character and idiom and his signature wry wit. But more than that, LeDuff lets his characters speak for themselves. What results is at turns riotous, dirt-under-the-nails, contemplative, salty, joyous, whiskey tinged-an utterly unique vision of life in the Big Apple and beyond.

  作者很重视细节的记录，所以本书的史料价值颇高，但它并不是游记文学，因为它文学性不足，不按史料读则枯燥无味。

  作为一般通过讲解管理学的书。。还行吧。将管理学的知识融入进校园故事本身就不怎么讨喜，讲解知识和故事主线的内容分配不算太好，尤其是后面。毕竟国内棒球并不流行，大多数读者还是想看管理学的内容，而不是难以理解的运动场景。重点的知识讲解内容还行，浅显易懂，能够引发思考就够了。

  好看。看前两篇小说还觉得有些别扭的地方，但越看越沉浸，东亚国家真的太相似了，当下年轻人骨子里的丧真是一脉相承。合租房里的局促与漂泊，美好爱情开始的婚姻终究走向昏暗、压抑和压榨，科幻故事里养老机构的等级制与一无所有年轻人的反抗……韩国这个国家真的会走向消亡吧，不知道那里的年轻人到底是在怎么活着。

• 人体内部的生态系统正在面临“生化危机”

  作者：夏冰雹 发布时间：2022-09-29 11:56:16

  人体内正在经历一场“生化危机” ，影响我们健康的微生物多样性正在消失，

  这使我们在现代疾病面前不堪一击。美国病理学家Martin J. Blaser为你全方面分析抗生素的危害。

  我们身体里居住着1万亿个微生物细胞，它们相当于人体的隐藏器官，影响我们的代谢、免疫力、情绪和认知。

  而抗生素的滥用，打破了菌群的多样性和平衡

  ，导致原本对我们无威胁的细菌产生耐药性并且泛滥，导致我们对更易受感染，也导致慢性疾病高发（包括肥胖、哮喘、过敏、青少年糖尿病、肠胃疾病、食道疾病）。

  Blaser呼吁，要从个人和机构层面减少不必要的抗生素使用，尤其要警惕这三个滥用场景：养殖、临床诊断、剖腹产。

  首先，

  抗生素被大规模用在牲畜上，即使你不吃药，也通过食物摄入了抗生素

  。自从上世纪40年代医药公司发现在饲料中混入低浓度抗生素能让牲畜变肥，抗生素就被广泛应用于养殖。美国每年消耗的抗生素中，70-80%都用于养殖，在医药财团的游说下，具体用量变成了秘密。90年代欧盟禁止了养殖户使用抗生素，而美国还在用，亚洲地区密集养殖的水产也让人堪忧。这种低剂量的抗生素助长耐药菌，可能传播至其他生物和人体，引起传染病，美国多次爆发的大肠杆菌、沙士门杆菌疫情就是最好的例子。

  第二，在诊断治疗方面，

  医生给患者开太多抗生素了

  ，一些小病根本不需要抗生素。一方面，80%的上呼吸道感染是由病毒引起的，抗生素是针对细菌的，但是患者仍要求医生开抗生素，而医生担心患者投诉，就开不必要的抗生素；另一方面，医院为了提高门诊效率，没给医生足够的时间去评估患者感染的微生物类型，直接开抗生素，方便、还创收；最重要的是，医药公司大力推广广谱抗生素，开发成本低、销量高，但是广谱抗生素带来的隐患更多，杀死了对人体有益的菌群，更易产生强大的耐药菌，在社区中传播开来，但是医药公司不乐意开发窄谱抗生素，这需要政府层面干预。

  第三，

  剖腹产会造成初生儿菌群失调，带来一生的健康隐患

  。Blaser强烈建议，不到必要时刻，不要剖腹产，因为胎儿在产道接触到的母体菌群是构建免疫力的关键，三岁之前形成的菌群生态系统会影响终身健康。产科医生为了防止小概率的新生儿感染B族链球菌，经常使用抗生素预防，这阻碍了胎儿获得健康菌群，增加终身肥胖的风险。一些国家的剖宫产比例不断增加，因为女性希望节省时间、不影响工作，也因为医院想要更快接生，剖宫产的营收比顺产更高。Blaser表示，美国青少年越来越多的肥胖、过敏等问题与剖宫产带来的菌群失衡有关。

  人的一生中，抗生素用得越多，内部生态系统越脆弱。

  对此，Blaser提出了一些解决方法 —— 限制抗生素过度使用，采用菌群移植来治疗一些肠胃疾病，少用杀菌消毒剂，服用一些益生菌。

• Here's New York

  作者：amstel 发布时间：2014-04-18 08:47:05

  New York is a glamorous city, and full of glamorous people. This is a city where you can find entrepreneurs, lawyers, bankers, investment bankers, and movie stars ect., where people dress well and eat well, where people shops in big and fancy stores. We get to know New York from TV serials such as Friends and the Sex and the City, in which people are fashionable, holding nice jobs and attending various parties. New York is a place, where people around the world want to go and stay and one day call themselves a New Yorker.

   

  Charlie LeDuff, the reporter of the New York Times brings you a different New York, working people’s New York city. His book “Work and Other Sins: Life in New York City and Thereabout” is about doorman’s life, not about the life of the people who has a doorman.

   

  The book is actually a collection of columns that published in the New York Times, each is a short story about an ordinary working people in the Big Apple, doorman, grave digger, Professional Santa, bartender, Indian workers who lie steel for skyscrapers driving back to reservation in Canada every Friday afternoon and coming to work in New York every Monday, antenna tuner who change bulbs on the top of the Empire State building. They are immigrants of the Big Apple, from Indiana, from Ohio, from Indian reservation, from Casablanca, from places around the world. They come to New York for their dreams. And Have their dreams been fulfilled? Only they know.

   

  You were brought to their lives, where is no fashion clothes, no fashion parties, nothing connect them with the fashionable cosmopolitan city. But they contribute to the growth of the city. Will they be forgot? They cannot answer. When a door man who opened the same door for 33 years retired, he received a note from a young girl who lives in the building: Don’t go, please, I love you. But he has to go. New York is a place to make a living. I was, once, made a living in the New York City.And that's before 911. When time was good and people spend a lot on Christmas.

   

  This is a book about nobody in America and American nobody is very important to the author. This book reminds me of nobody in China and the nobody in China is very important to me. The book reminds of a poem:

   

  I am nobody,

  Who are you?

  Are you nobody too?
