铁血年华-辛亥革命那一枪

铁血年华-辛亥革命那一枪
郝连勃勃大王(梅毅)
2008.9 中国戏剧出版社

前几年看了电视连续剧"走向共和", 对清末民初的历史知道的根多一些. 梅毅的这本书也是一本不错的书, 对当时的历史格局,各方面政治势力的描述很让人信服, 对当时的很多历史人物的来龙去脉也给了比较好的交代.

Why we need a green revolution - and how it can renew American
Thomas L. Friedman
2008

Friedman's books are always very educational and informational. This one convinced me about the global warming with the CO2 data and the urgency of taking action.

We do need an energy revolution, replacing the "dirty fuel" with renewable energy, replacing the "buffet" kind of grid with "smart" grid.

The book mentioned a lot about china, its current environment challenges, and also interestingly its progress made recently. Like Germans and Japanese, I think Chinese can act collectively and decisively so we can be a leader in the green revolution.
