内容简介
A scintillating survey of sensational serpents, from blood-spewing West Indian boas to " flying" golden tree snakes.
One of the Step into Reading series, Penner's book offers the attraction of reading about a nonbabyish topic in an easy-to-read format. There are some flaws: the illustrations are only loosely related to the text and are not given geographical context, and the generalization "Mother snakes don't take care of their babies" is made to seem a "character" flaw. Still, the subject is bound to attract kids, and beginning readers will gain a sense of accomplishment from the reading as well as an increase in their knowledge of the subject.

This slim introduction offers barely enough information to whet one's appetite. Penner opens with a brief explanation of how an Indian snake charmer "charms" a cobra, and alludes to snakes in mythology and ancient history. The minimal text then describes some of the major physical and behavioral characteristics common to all snakes?diet, various hunting and feeding methods, birth of young?and special characteristics of assorted species. Full-color drawings of 30 representative species from around the world accompany each page of text. While they are adequate depictions, those of humans are mediocre; most of the children look like short adults. Although the book is clearly written, it suffers from poor organization; topics are addressed in random order. Also, the coverage is superficial. Descriptions of anatomy, methods of locomotion, and growth and development are particularly sketchy. Patricia Lauber's Snakes Are Hunters (Crowell, 1988) and Seymour Simon's Snakes (HarperCollins, 1992) provide more in-depth information on the same subject; the latter title also offers superb photography that gives a truer sense of the nature of snakes.

表征,需要至少二要素,一是对象,如事物或属性,文字,图形等--客观,客体;二是脑,加工机器,品质不同、层次不同,加工制造(模仿还是创造)出产品不同--真品和仿制品的差异。合计就是信源+信宿。表征的同一性差,不同的主体,对相同的客体会有差异极大的分歧,异议。

是表明事物特征的记号。它以单纯、显著、易识别的物象、图形或文字符号为直观语言,除表示什么、代替什么之外,还具有表达意义、情感和指令行动等作用。
