《什么都不说》(Say Nothing)
《什么都不说》(Say Nothing)
Patrick Patrick Radden Keefe
帕特里克·拉登·基夫(Patrick Radden Keefe)著
In 1972, the masker broke into a 38-year-old widow and mother of 10 children, Jean McConville, at her home in Belfast and dragged her out. In this elaborate book--with a fine pace like a novel--Kivf uses the murder of McConnell as a prism to tell the history of the unrest in Northern Ireland. He interviewed people on both sides of the conflict, turning the tragic destruction and wear and tear of that era into a searing, gripping legend.
1972年，蒙面者闯入38岁的寡妇、10个孩子的母亲珍·麦康维尔(Jean McConville)在贝尔法斯特的家中，将她拖了出来。在这本精心叙述的书中——步调精巧犹如小说——基夫以麦康维尔谋杀案为棱镜，讲述了北爱尔兰动乱的历史。他采访了 冲突双方的人，把那个时代的悲剧性破坏和损耗变成了一个灼热的、扣人心弦的传奇故事。 纽约时报中英文网 http://www.qqenglish.com

《俱乐部》(The Club)
Leo Damrosch
利奥·达姆罗施(Leo Damrosch)
British painter Joshua Reynolds just wanted to please his depressed friend Samuel Johnson. Who knew that his proposed Friday night chat at the Turk ’s Head Tavern in London would eventually attract almost all British leaders at the end of the 18th century? Damrosch brings the awesome personalities of The Club—smart minds, witless saliva, gentle friendship—to lively lives, presenting indelible portraits: Johnson and Renault , Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, actor David Garrick, historian Edward Gibbon, and of course Johnson's loyal Biographer James Boswell: "A group of geniuses with few or even no one."
英国画家约书亚·雷诺兹(Joshua Reynolds)只是想让他情绪低落的朋友塞缪尔·约翰逊(Samuel Johnson)高兴起来。谁知道他提议的周五晚上在伦敦土耳其人头酒馆(Turk’s Head Tavern)举行的夜聊会，最终会吸引18世纪末英国几乎所有的领袖 人物？达姆罗施将《俱乐部》里令人敬畏的个性——聪明的头脑、机智的口水战、温柔的友情——带到生动的生活中，呈现出一幅幅不可磨灭的肖像：约翰逊和雷诺兹、埃德蒙·伯克(Edmund Burke)、亚当·斯密(Adam Smith)、演员大卫·加里 克(David Garrick)、历史学家爱德华·吉本(Edward Gibbon)，当然还有约翰逊忠诚的传记作者詹姆斯·鲍斯威尔(James Boswell)：“一群很少甚至无人能及的天才”。

8.The Yellow House
《黄房子》(The Yellow House)
《黄房子》(The Yellow House)
By Sarah M. Broom
萨拉·M·布鲁姆 (Sarah M. Broom)著
In her extraordinary and fascinating debut, Bloom surpassed the basic expectations of a memoir and created a literary form that combines entertainment and creativity. Partly oral history, partly urban history, and partly a compliment to past lifestyles, The Yellow House is a comprehensive complaint of greed, discrimination, apathy, and poor urban planning, and it is these that led to her house from the map disappear. Tracking East New Orleans (a "50 times larger area of ? The French Quarter" but nowhere to be found on most tourist maps, with sporadic properties neglected by white people) The history of a family, from the 1960s to Cartery Hurricane Na, the book immediately became a must-read text, examining the past, present, and future of New Orleans and the entire United States.

在她非凡、引人入胜的处女作中，布鲁姆超越了对一本回忆录的基本期待，创造了一种娱乐和创造性相融合的文学形式。部分是口述历史，部分是城市历史，部分是对过去生活方式的赞美，《黄房子》是对贪婪、歧视、冷漠和糟糕的城市规 划的全面控诉，正是这些导致她家的房子从地图上消失。追踪新奥尔良东部（一片“有法国区50倍大的区域”，大多数旅游地图上却无处可寻，其中有零星被白人忽略的房产）一个家庭的历史，从上世纪60年代到卡特里娜飓风，本书立刻成为 了一部必读文本，审视着新奥尔良市乃至整个美国的过去、现在和未来。
9.No No Visible Bruise
《无可见挫伤》(No Visible Bruises)
《无可见挫伤》(No Visible Bruises)
Ra Rachel Louise Snyder
雷切尔·路易斯·斯奈德(Rachel Louise Snyder)著
In his book, Mr. Snyder covered in detail what the World Health Organization calls "epidemic global health problems." In the United States alone, more than half of the women murdered were killed by current or former partners; domestic violence is irrespective of class, religion and race. Snyder exposed the widespread myth (the restraint is the answer, the abuser never changes), and emotionally described the life (and death) of people on both sides of the equation. Instead of giving simple answers, she provided a wealth of information, which was a hope in itself.
斯奈德在书中详尽报道了世界卫生组织所称的“流行病式的全球健康问题”。仅在美国，半数以上被谋杀的女性是被现任或前任伴侣杀害的；家庭暴力不分阶级、宗教和种族。斯奈德揭露了普遍存在的迷思（限制令是答案，施虐者从不改变）， 并动情地描写了等式两边的人的生活（和死亡）。她没有给出简单的答案，而是提供了丰富的信息，这些信息本身就是一种希望。
10.Midnight in Chernobyl
《切尔诺贝利的午夜》(Midnight in Chernobyl)
《切尔诺贝利的午夜》(Midnight in Chernobyl)
Adam Higginbotham
亚当·希金博特姆(Adam Higginbotham)著
Higginbotham's wonderful description of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion in April 1986 belongs to the rare scientific book that reads like a thrilling thriller. The story is full of vivid details and deeply-characterized characters, from which you can see shocking incompetence, mistakes one by one, and misjudgments one after another, which ultimately leads to inevitable disasters that change history.
希金博特姆对1986年4月切尔诺贝利核电站爆炸的精彩描述，属于那种读来像紧张冲突不断的惊悚小说的罕见科技图书。故事充满生动的细节和深入刻画的人物性格，从中可以看到令人震惊的无能，一个接一个的错误，一个接一个的误判，最 终导致了不可避免的、改变历史的灾难。
