Download or read book The Way of the Panda written by Henry Nicholls and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how the extraordinary impact of the panda—from obscurity to fame—is also the story of China’s transition from shy beginnings to center stage. Giant pandas have been causing a stir ever since their formal scientific discovery just over 140 years ago. Yet in spite of humankind’s evident obsession with the giant panda, it is only in the last few decades that scientific research has begun to show us what this mysterious, frequently misunderstood creature is really like. Henry Nicholls uses the rich and curious history of the giant panda to do several things: to ponder our changing attitudes toward the natural world; to offer a compelling history of the conservation movement; and to chart the rise of modern China on its journey to become the self-sufficient, twenty-first-century superpower it is today.

Book excerpt: 大熊猫在蓝色星球的第一次漫步，是在遥远的800万年前； 人类第一次清晰地听到大熊猫的脚步声，是在1869年乍暖还寒的早春。 从大熊猫出现在人类面前的那一刻起，它的“食色性也”就深深地吸引着世人的眼光。 100多年过去了，大熊猫依然是让人着迷。 大熊猫似乎没有过去，因为我们不知道“它是谁”， 有人梳理出了大熊猫从古到今的几十个名称，但哪一个是“大熊猫”？ 大熊猫又往哪里去？ 虽然从“濒危”降到“易危”，但野外大熊猫的数量依然少得可怜 我们试图揭开大熊猫身上的神秘面纱，让大熊猫永远和人类和谐共生…… The giant panda, or the panda, a rare species that first appeared as early as 8 million years ago, has retained its original appearance and kept its physiological habits over the years, becoming the living fossil of animals on the earth today and the relic of primitive organisms. As a rare animal in the world as well as in China, the giant panda is few in number, no more than 2000 with the wild and the captive combined. But giant pandas and their habitats have drawn worldwide attention since they are flagship species to be protected for biodiversity. The giant panda is the logo of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the giant panda flag can still be seen fluttering around the world. The giant panda has borne witness to major international sports events like the Asian Games and the Olympic Games as the mascot. The giant panda habitat in China has been included on the World Heritage List…

Download or read book Dave Barry Turns Fifty written by Dave Barry and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist comes a celebration of the aging process. Not just Dave's, but that of the whole Baby Boom Generation--those millions of us who set a standard for whining self-absorption that will never be equaled, and who gave birth to such stunning accomplishments as Saturday Night Live!, the New Age movement, and call waiting. Here Dave pinpoints the glaring signs that you've passed the half-century mark: - You are suddenly unable to read anything written in letters smaller than Marlon Brando. - You have accepted the fact that you can't possibly be hip. You don't even know if "hip" is the right word for hip anymore, and you don't care. - You remember nuclear-attack drills at school wherein you practiced protecting yourself by crouching under your desk, which was apparently made out of some kind of atomic-bomb-proof wood. - You can't name the secretary of defense, but you can still sing the Mister Clean song. So pop open a can of Geritol®, kick back in that recliner, grab those reading glasses, and let the good times roll--before they roll right over you!
Download or read book Panda Nation written by E. Elena Songster and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A logo on products ranging from chopsticks and toilet paper to cell phones and automobiles, the panda is one of the most ubiquitous images in China and throughout the world. Yet the panda holds little notable historical significance in China. Although it has existed in the territory of present-day China since the Pliocene epoch, its widespread popularity there is not only recent, but almost sudden. In Panda Nation, E. Elena Songster links the emergence of the giant panda as a national symbol to the development of nature protection in the People's Republic of China. The panda's transformation into a national treasure exemplifies China's efforts in the mid-twentieth century to distinguish itself as a nation through government-directed science and popular nationalism. The story of the panda's iconic rise offers a striking reflection of China's recent and dramatic ascent as a nation in global status.
