Mountains Beyond Mountains的核心人物是Paul Farmer。他是医生、哈佛大学教授、著名传染病专家、人类学家、麦克阿瑟“天才奖”得主，也是一位世界级的罗宾汉式人物。Farmer在公交车与小船上长大，在医学院就读期间找到了自己一生的使命：诊断并治愈传染病，将现代医学拯救生命的工具带给那些最需要它们的人。Mountains Beyond Mountains带领我们从哈佛走向海地、秘鲁、古巴和俄罗斯，见证了Farmer如何通过恪守其理念去改变人们的观念与实践

…应当丧命。那里的人们需要帮助，立刻、马上。我捐过款的一家很棒的慈善机构是 Partners in Health，它成立于海地（由一位美国人创立），且一直扎根在海地。你可以去读读《Mountains Beyond Mountains》了解他们更多的事情，巧的是，而且也很应景，这本书是 Tracy Kidder 写的，他也是《Soul of a New Machine》的作者。
…should die. People there need help. Now. A good charity I donated to is Partners in Health which was founded in Haiti (by an American) and has always been in Haiti. You can read more about them in "Mountains Beyond Mountains" which coincidentally and topically was written by Tracy Kidder who also wrote "Soul of a new Machine".
…他们至少配了一名老师，但在校舍完工前，孩子们不得不露天上课。（我也推荐《三杯茶》。它文笔不如 Tracy Kidder 的《Mountains Beyond Mountains》那么好，但无所谓，故事本身就足够有力量了。）
…they had at least one teacher, but the children had to study outside until the school building was completed. (I also recommend "Three Cups of Tea". It's not as well written as, say, Tracy Kidder's "Mountains Beyond Mountains", but it doesn't matter, the story pretty much tells itself.)
“文笔不如 Tracy Kidder 的《Mountains Beyond Mountains》那么好”……这已经是最近几天里我第二次在这里看到有人提到 Kidder 的作品了[1]。我读过《Soul of a New Machine》，很喜欢。他的其他书你还有推荐的吗？[1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=601903
not as well written as, say, Tracy Kidder's "Mountains Beyond Mountains"... This is the second time I've seen Kidder's work mentioned here in the last few days [1]. I've read and enjoyed Soul of a New Machine. Would you recommend any of his other books? [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=601903
《Mountains Beyond Mountains》是我读过的唯一一本 Kidder 的其他作品。绝对值得一读，但单就题材而言，它跟《Soul of a New Machine》也是一本截然不同的书了。
Mountains Beyond Mountains is the only other Kidder book I've read. It's certainly worth a read, but it's a really different book from Soul of a New Machine, just by subject matter if nothing else.
