Iolo's Jewels of Wales
actor: Iolo Williams
第一集:威尔士, 东界英格兰,西临圣乔治海峡,南面布里斯托尔海峡,北靠爱尔兰海,其地理位置注定了它的美离不开水。河流、湖泊、峡谷雕塑其美,海鳗、秋沙鸭、黄鹉彰显出其生态的多样性。威尔士拥有不受污染的自然美景以及千变万化的地理景观,境内处处是原乡之美,其中,水起了不可或缺的作用。
第二集:昔日的工业痕迹逐渐被大自然抹平,也成就了今日的生物多样性。曾经的板岩采矿场和金矿,如今都已经荒废,却都是威尔士工业命运的缩影。工业发展离不开铁路的建设和运河,同时工业的发展也使得少数人积累起了巨大的财富。
第三集:本集我们要深入森林,观察那些鸣唱于枝头的小鸟;还会驶入海洋,亲近那些丝毫不畏惧人类亲近的海豹;更会检阅沙丘,探寻沙丘内部鲜为人知的小昆虫;最后,我们一起潜入海底,去发现那些奇奇怪怪的海底小生物...
The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas Douban Goodreads
author: Dylan Thomas publishing house: New Directions 2010 - 4
<em>The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas</em> contains poems that Thomas personally decided best represented his work. A year before its publication Thomas died from swelling of the brain triggered by excessive drinking. <br /><br />Since its initial publication in 1953, this book has become the definitive edition of the poet’s work. Thomas wrote “<i>Prologue</i>” addressed to “my readers, the strangers” — an introduction in verse that was the last poem he would ever write. Also included are classics such as “<i>And Death Shall Have No Dominion</i>,” “<i>Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night</i>,” and “<i>Fern Hill</i>” that have influenced generations of artists from Bob Dylan (who changed his last name from Zimmerman in honor of the poet), to John Lennon (The Beatles included Thomas’ portrait on the cover of <em>Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band</em>); this collection even appears in the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s <em>The Road</em> when it is retrieved from the rubble of a bookshelf.
