- 我在黑猩猩中的生活_My_Life_With_The_Chimpanzees
- 类 / 历史传记
- 文 / Jane Goodall 播 / 佚名
- JaneGoodall，1934年4月3日出生於伦敦，在伯恩茅斯(Bournemouth)成长和受教育，18岁高中学业。从很小的时候，她对动物行为便有著极大的兴趣。从学校毕业后，她曾经当过秘书和电影製片助理，后来才有了个机会去非洲旅行。1957年，珍到肯亚旅行时，在那里遇到了古生物及人类学家路易士‧李基(LouisLeaky)。李基发现珍古德非常热爱非洲物种，因此便聘请她当自己的助理。1960年，在李基博士的建议下，珍开始进行一项研究计划，到坦桑尼亚(Tanzania)境内冈贝溪保留区(GombeStreamReserve)的坦葛尼喀湖(LakeTanganyika)，研究栖息於湖区的野生黑猩猩。由於珍当时过於年轻，她的母亲不放心她独自一人生活，所以两人便在1960年的7月，一同抵达冈贝河国家公园(GombeStreamNationalPark)，在那里与黑猩猩共同生活於牠们的栖息地，开始观察黑猩猩的行为。不过她曾经中断过一段时间的观察，以便完成她的大学研究报告。她在1965年取得剑桥大学的动物行为学博士学位后，便立即返回冈贝河国家公园，并在那里成立了一个研究中心，广收来自世界各地的研究生。从那时候起，冈贝溪保留区的研究中心在国家公园的保护下，不但成为黑猩猩研究的中心，也是全球唯一能连续45年不间断地研究黑猩猩族群及谱系学的地方。珍古德的研究，改正了许多学界原先对黑猩猩的错误观念。比如说，她发现黑猩猩其实是杂食性动物，而非学者原先所认定的草食性动物。珍对黑猩猩行为的研究也不遗餘力，她发现黑猩猩会分工合作地分组觅食，并会使用像是小树枝等简单的工具，将白蚁从巢穴里「钓」出来。

- 类 / 历史传记
- 文 / 大卫·麦卡勒 播 / 佚名
- 1765年亚当斯在《波士顿公报》上发表文章抨击《印花税法》，自此他便积极参与殖民地的政治.尽管亚当斯批评英国的政策，但他还是为那些被控在1770年波士顿大屠杀中杀死五个殖民地居民的英国士兵辩护；结果指挥官和几个士兵都被宣判无罪。他这样心甘情愿地站在令人讨厌的一边辩护并没有妨碍他的政治生涯。1774年，他当上第一次大陆议会的代表。其后又参加了第二届大陆会议，他也是由托马斯·杰斐逊组成的《独立宣言》起草委员会的成员。被誉为“美国独立的巨人”。亚当斯是美国第一任副总统，后来又当选为总统(1797－1801)。由于他任职期间在内政、外交方面均无明显成就，1800年竞选总统时被托马斯·杰斐逊击败。他和杰斐逊都是在美国独立五十周年纪念日──1826年7月4日去世的。其子约翰·昆西·亚当斯是美国第六任总统。
