房龙地理-名著双语读物.中文导读+英文原版

本书特色

[

《房龙地理》是房龙的成名之作，它是一部关于“人”的地理书，“人文地理”这一概念在本书中得到了生动地诠释。在简要介绍地理的基本知识之后，房龙分别讲述了世界各地的地理环境，着重分析地理对国家或地区的历史演变、民族性格的形成、地缘政治等的影响；阐释地球是人类的共同家园，生活于其中的人们只有合作才能和平而有序。小小的巴尔干总是刀光剑影，而广袤的西伯利亚却宁静祥和；丹麦人喜欢静谧书斋，而西班牙人则热衷于海外探险；国土狭小的瑞士一贯秉承中立，而日本近代疯狂地向外扩张……难道国家性格、民族特性真的与国家地理有关？或许本书会给出一些答案。该书自出版以来，一直畅销至今。无论作为通俗的人文地理读本，还是作为语言学习的课外读物，本书对当代中国的读者都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解每章内容概况，进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平，在每段故事的开始部分增加了中文导读。为了读者更好地理解书中内容，在部分章节中加入了插图。

内容简介

本书是为一般读者对自己生活环境有一些了解所著。*好且*方便的学习地理方法是用图片。我已经根据自己的地理构想绘出了一些样品，包括一些平面地图和三维地图。建议读者根据自己对于事情将被如何处理的主意画出你自己的地图。
