……外来物种将成为大自然的救星》，作者弗雷德·皮尔斯。提供了一个非常独特的生态系统视角。* 《在人造语言的国度》，作者阿里卡·奥克伦特。非常有趣。* 《霸凌有限公司》，作者彼得·伯内特 * 《镭女孩》，作者凯特·摩尔。我还读了大量的圣经伪经和一些埃塞俄比亚正典作品。
…Species Will Be Nature's Salvation" by Fred Pearce. A very different view of ecosystems. * "In the Land of Invented Languages" by Arika Okrent. Very entertaining. * "Bully Inc." by Peter Burnett * "The Radium Girls" by Kate Moore I have also read a lot of Biblical Pseudepigrapha and some works from the Ethiopian canon.
想了解更多的朋友，最近有一本关于这个题材的新书：凯特·摩尔写的《镭女孩：美国闪耀女性的黑暗故事》[1]。我了解不多（只是几天前在巴诺书店找别的书时碰巧注意到的），但它……
For those who want more on this, there's a recent book on this subject: "The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women" by Kate Moore [1]. I don't know much about it (just happened to notice it a couple days ago while looking for something else at Barnes and Noble), but it has…
《镭女孩》是一本关于这个题材评价相当不错的书：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31409135-the-radium-girl...
Radium Girls is a fairly well-reviewed book about that: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31409135-the-radium-girl...
我正在读《镭女孩》。¹ 让我很着迷的一点是，镭一旦被摄入体内，就会倾向于沉积在骨骼里（只要瞟一眼元素周期表里钙和镭的位置就完全说得通了），而且随着……
I'm in the middle of reading The Radium Girls.¹ One fascinating thing to me is that radium, once ingested, tends to deposit itself in the bones (which makes sense if you glance at the positions of Calcium and Radium in the periodic table) and as…
我妻子其实写过一首关于在那些工厂里打工的“镭女孩”的诗（已发表）：http://hawaiireview.org/poetry/2016/7/15/meg-eden-radium-gir... 不知道这里会不会有人感兴趣，但感觉挺切题的。她当时确实做了很多功课……
My wife actually wrote a (published) poem about the "Radium Girls" who worked in those factories: http://hawaiireview.org/poetry/2016/7/15/meg-eden-radium-gir... Don't know if anyone here will find it interesting, but it felt topical. She actually did a good amount…
……宾夕法尼亚州 MOS 工厂的环境问题。以前还真不知道这事。这已经是大约三周内我第三次看到有关几十年前就关闭的工厂引发的环境问题的报道了！我刚读完《镭女孩》，讲的是 Undark 发光漆以及工人们遭受的可怕身体伤害，还有他们为了争取赔偿甚至是哪怕一句承认所经历的艰难抗争。那两家公司一路否认、撒谎、耍赖。两处厂址，甚至当年工厂所在的……
…environmental issues at the MOS plant in PA Didn't know of that. That's the third reference to current environmental issues from decades closed plants I've come across in about as many weeks! I just read The Radium Girls about Undark and the worker's horrific injuries and struggle to get compensation or even acknowledgement. The two companies denied, lied, and cheated their way through. Both sites, and even where factory…
