From BooklistFrom the depths of Mexico’s Copper Canyon to the heights of theLeadville Trail 100 ultramarathon in Colorado, from thecenturies-old running techniques of Mexico’s Tarahumara tribe to aresearch lab at the University of Utah, author McDougallcelebrates, in this engaging and picaresque account, humankind’sinnate love of running. There are rogues aplenty here, such thedeadly narco-traffickers who roam Copper Canyon, but there are manymore who inspire, such as the Tarahumara runners, who show the restof the world the false limitations we place on human endurance.McDougall has served as an Associated Press war correspondent, is acontributing editor to Men’s Health, and runs at his home in ruralPennsylvania, and he brings all of these experiences to bear inthis slyly important, highly readable account.
內容簡介
An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?
Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

精彩書評
"A journalist's adventures in a secluded Mexican community of the best endurance athletes in the world. On an unrelated assignment, Men's Health contributing editor McDougall (Girl Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi, Her Svengali, and the Secret Teenage Sex Cult that Stunned the World, 2004) uncovered the legend of the Tarahumara Indians, a tribe of astonishingly fit runners concealed deep within the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Determined to learn their secrets, McDougall braved uncharted territory and encounters with lethal drug-smugglers in search of Caballo Blanco, one of the only outsiders to befriend the bashful natives. The colorful Caballo recounts an enthralling story involving the arduous Leadville ultra marathon and Rick Fisher, a greedy, hotheaded opportunist who bribed the Tarahumara out of hiding to compete. The exploited tribesmen participated in the grueling event three times before they disappeared back to their villages for good. An inspired Caballo followed the Tarahumara back to Mexico, where he ran the local trails and lived peacefully in isolation. His dream was to draw the top American contenders to this remote locale to lock horns with the clan in the ultimate endurance exhibition, and he wanted McDougall's help to make it happen. The author returned to the Copper Canyons with a handful of prominent distance champions, including Scott Jurek and Jenn Shelton, and the story culminates in a final 50-mile showdown. McDougall's background as a magazine writer is readily apparent-his prose is light and airy, informative without being pretentious. Most passages are short and engaging with extra doses of drama and exclamatory phrases thrown in to great effect.McDougall wisely grounds the narrative in his own struggle to engage in the concluding race-he was frustrated with his tendency to get injured-and he offers insightful sidebars on a variety of topics, from the development of the modern running shoe to an evolutionary argument that humans are literally "born to run."A terrific ride, recommended for any athlete. First printing of 75,000. Author tour to Boston, Boulder, Colo., Denver, New York, Portland, Ore., Salt Lake City, San Francisco."

古人雲書中自有黃金屋,書中自有顔如玉。可見,古人對讀書的情有獨鍾。其實,對於任何人而言,讀書最大的好處在於它讓求知的人從中獲知,讓無知的人變得有知。讀史蒂芬?霍金的時間簡史和果殼中的宇宙,暢遊在粒子、生命和星體的處境中,感受智慧的光澤,猶如攀登高山一樣,瞬間眼前呈現齣仿佛九疊畫屏般的開闊視野。於是,便像李白在詩中所寫到的廬山秀齣南鬥旁,屏風九疊雲錦張,影落明湖青黛光。對於坎坷麯摺的人生道路而言,讀書便是最佳的潤滑劑。麵對苦難,我們苦悶、彷徨、悲傷、絕望,甚至我們低下瞭曾經高貴驕傲的頭。然而我們可否想到過書籍可以給予我們希望和勇氣,將慰藉緩緩注入我們乾枯的心田,使黑暗的天空再現光芒讀羅曼?羅蘭創作、傅雷先生翻譯的名人傳,讓我們從偉人的生涯中汲取生存的力量和戰鬥的勇氣,更讓我們明白唯有真實的苦難,纔能驅除羅曼諦剋式幻想的苦難唯有剋服苦難的悲劇,纔能幫助我們擔當起命運的磨難。讀海倫?凱勒一個個真實而感人肺腑的故事,感受遭受不濟命運的人所具備的自強不息和從容豁達,從而讓我們在並非一帆風順的人生道路上越走越勇,做命運真正的主宰者。在書籍的帶領下,我們不斷磨煉自己的意誌,而我們的心靈也將漸漸充實成熟。讀書能夠蕩滌浮躁的塵埃汙穢,過濾齣一股沁人心脾的靈新之氣,甚至還可以營造齣一種超凡脫俗的嫻靜氛圍。讀陶淵明的飲酒詩,體會結廬在人境,而無車馬喧那種置身鬧市卻人靜如深潭的境界,感悟作者高深、清高背後所具有的定力和毅力讀世界經典名著巴黎聖母院,讓我們看到如此醜陋的卡西莫多卻能夠擁有善良美麗的心靈、淳樸真誠的品質、平靜從容的氣質和不卑不亢的風度,他的內心在時間的見證下摺射齣耀人的光彩,使我們在尋覓美的真諦的同時去追求心靈的高尚與純潔。讀王濛的寬容的哲學、林語堂的生活的藝術以及古人流傳於世的名言警句,這些都能使我們擁有誠實捨棄虛僞,擁有充實捨棄空虛,擁有踏實捨棄浮躁,平靜而坦然地度過每一個晨曦每一個黃昏。 買瞭水知道答案(套裝共3冊)一點都不後悔,很喜歡[日]江本勝,書是絕對正版的,紙張都非常好!識伴隨人類成長,人類的成長少不瞭知識。 從遠古開始,人們不斷豐富自己的知識從油燈到電燈到無影燈,從刀劍到槍械到炸彈,從熱氣球到飛機到火箭正因人們不斷豐富知識,掌握技能,纔讓人們在自然中生存。我們沒有猛獁象的龐大;沒有獵豹的速度;沒有緻命的毒液;沒有尖銳的牙齒......是什麼讓人類得以生存?是知識!槍械讓我們訓服野獸;飛機讓我們在天空中翱翔;船隻讓我們在海洋中暢遊話說諸葛亮草船藉箭,巧藉東風,不過是將知識運用到戰略上,其實諸葛亮能觀天象,他可以明確地知道什麼時候下霧,什麼時候颳東風可見可以滿足諸多老捨商傢以及消費者個性化的配送需求四世同堂。為瞭全麵滿足客戶的配送需求,四世同堂是一部中國現代長篇小說經典名著,是老捨先生的代錶作之一。小說在盧溝橋事變爆發、北平淪陷的時代背景下,以祁傢四世同堂的生活為主綫,形象、真切地描繪瞭以小羊圈鬍同住戶為代錶的各個階層、各色人等的榮辱浮沉、生死存亡。作品謳歌、弘揚瞭中國人民偉大的愛國主義精神和堅貞高尚的民族氣節,史詩般地展現瞭第二次世界大戰期間,中國人民為世界反法西斯戰爭做齣的傑齣貢獻,氣度恢弘,可歌可泣。京東商城打造瞭萬人的專業服務團當我看到狼牙山五壯士時,我為狼牙山五壯士的悲壯流過眼淚老捨當我讀到三國演義時,我為諸葛亮的雄纔大略欽佩不已。我深深地陶醉在書四世同堂是一部中國現代長篇小說經典名著,是老捨先生的代錶作之一。
