The Paths of Inland Commerce, A Chronicle of Trail, Road, and WaterwayBy Archer B. HulbertPREFACEIf the great American novel is ever written, I hazard the guess that its plot will be woven around the theme of American transportation, for that has been the vital factor in the national development of the United States. Every problem in the building of the Republic has been, in the last analysis, a problem in transportation. The author of such a novel will find a rich fund of material in the perpe
The Iron Puddlerby James J. DavisMY LIFE IN THE ROLLING MILLS AND WHAT CAME OF ITIntroduction by JOSEPH G. CANNONThe man whose life story is here presented between book covers is at the time of writing only forty-eight years old. When I met him many years ago he was a young man full of enthusiasm.

羊慧明:光亚、邓阳,你们好!非常高兴能与你们一起来侃侃美国。卿光亚:我比较关注美国的人文、教育资讯。这几年在中国出版的写美国的书,我大部分都读过。慧明和宋晓江、马平的《闲聊美国》一书,我也拜读过,我相信那是我读过的所有写美国的书中最有深度和参考价值的一本。我也很高兴能与您把美国的话题再聊下去。羊慧明:其实,我们以前写的那几本介绍美国的小书,只是走马观花的印象之作,只能叫“快餐”,现在回过头去看,许多内容流于粗浅,不忍卒读。这次我去美国生活了几年,与美国各阶层的人士打交道,走进他们的生活,对美国社会生态有了真真切切的感受。邓阳曾经到黑人贫民区去做过生意,为那些一无所有的黑人提供过打工的机会。我也去闯荡过华尔街,经历了“9·11”之后的大崩盘,见识了华尔街的光明与黑暗。也近距离了解了美国富豪在拉斯维加斯纸醉金迷的生活。我在美国的这几年恰好是“美国病”暴露得比较充分的几年...

于信强二OO一年三月十七日,我和往日一样,翻阅《参考消息》和《环球时报》,发现关于日本的右翼漫画家小林善纪《台湾论》的一些报导,引起我极大的关注,后通过蔡省三(国民党原少将,抗日将领,著名的时事评论员)夫妇从香港带回一本《台湾论》原版书,看后特别愤怒,作为一名中国的卡通画家,我认为自己有责任、有义务把一个积压多年的创作愿望展示给广大读者,告诉大家一个真实的中日历史,并努力使它符合历史事实,为广大读者所接受,为我们的卡通漫画创作一些扬眉吐气的东西。于是,我走访了中国许多有关抗日战场和遗址,同时,也拜访了一些抗日幸存者和抗日英雄,又一春夏翻阅了大量的历史资料和史实,耗时一年才编成的这部《论日本》,书中均是个人观点,有不到之处请广大读者批评指正。...
