Spirit of the Road--The Life of an American Trucker...and his cat
http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Road-Life-American-Trucker-ebook/dp/B00DU0T5SU/
This book does a great deal to dispel stereotypes about truck drivers, some of whom (like the author), are actually very intelligent, thoughtful people who do an essential job which most non-drivers should not take for granted.
從事廣播業二十年的 Rick Huffman 決定脫胎換骨改行當卡車司機,剛上路的第一個月就認養一隻小貓,沒想到Kitty在美國的道路上陪伴他十年。這本書完全破除一般人對卡車司機的刻板印象,其實高學歷的卡車司機蠻多

This is a marvelous book that forms part of a series. The authors apparently spend their lives traveling to various locations around the world. Unlike other tourists, however, they spend a full three months in each place and really get to know it in depth. The result in each case is a book highlighting their discoveries.

Little Red Riding Hood
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Riding-Sommer-Time-Story-Classic-ebook/dp/B00GMPBK2E/


本書作者絕不是一般人想像中的『兒童書作者』,他的生活背景非常特殊:從海軍陸戰隊退伍之後,卡爾先生曾擔任領班,模具設計師和業務經理。後來,他兩個兒子開了一家很成功的EDM公司。
EDM = 放電加工,英語:Electrical Discharge Machining,中國大陸稱為电火花加工、台灣稱為放電加工,是特種加工技術的一種,廣泛應用在模具製造、機械加工行業。
從四十歲那一年開始,卡爾陸續當了高中老師和校長(而且跑遍紐約市27所高中當代課老師),有感於美國各地學校倫理道德教沒落就決定自己寫一套兼具傳統兒童故事和倫理道德教育於一身的兒童繪本。這裡的『小紅帽』是其中的一本,很值得一看!

Field Guide to Chicks of the United States
47 reviews, 4.6 stars: good for a laugh!

The English is not so easy, but after you do some work, you can laugh at the clever jokes. The pictures are also rather special. You can read it by yourself, but this book is also a great conversation starter. Don't miss it!

In the United States, many people like to watch birds or other animals, so you can buy guide books full of pictures and maps. These books tell you where each animal lives, what it looks like, what it eats, what it sounds like etc.

This book is written just like a serious bird guide, but instead of chicks (= baby chickens), this book describes "chicks" (= a slang word that means "attractive young women"). For each kind of "chick", the author tells you where to find her, how much money it costs for "maintenance" (保養費用 = buying expensive gifts), what she likes to talk about, how long you have to wait before she will sleep with you, etc. There are many lovely pictures throughout the book, so it will take a little bit longer to download.

Wikipedia: 雪姑娘(俄語:Снегу́рочка;拉丁字母轉寫:Snegúrochka)是俄羅斯民間傳說的一位童話角色,一說是作為斯拉夫的聖誕老人-雪老人的孫女及助手出現。她的形象不僅出現在俄羅斯民間儀式中,在俄羅斯的口頭文學創作中也以民間童話中提到的:「用雪堆造,並且復活」的形象呈現。她被描繪為冰雪(父)與春天(母)之女兒
