From Booklist
From the depths of Mexico’s Copper Canyon to the heights of theLeadville Trail 100 ultramarathon in Colorado, from thecenturies-old running techniques of Mexico’s Tarahumara tribe to aresearch lab at the University of Utah, author McDougallcelebrates, in this engaging and picaresque account, humankind’sinnate love of running. There are rogues aplenty here, such thedeadly narco-traffickers who roam Copper Canyon, but there are manymore who inspire, such as the Tarahumara runners, who show the restof the world the false limitations we place on human endurance.McDougall has served as an Associated Press war correspondent, is acontributing editor to Men’s Health, and runs at his home in ruralPennsylvania, and he brings all of these experiences to bear inthis slyly important, highly readable account.

内容简介

An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

精彩书评

"A journalist's adventures in a secluded Mexican community of the best endurance athletes in the world. On an unrelated assignment, Men's Health contributing editor McDougall (Girl Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi, Her Svengali, and the Secret Teenage Sex Cult that Stunned the World, 2004) uncovered the legend of the Tarahumara Indians, a tribe of astonishingly fit runners concealed deep within the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Determined to learn their secrets, McDougall braved uncharted territory and encounters with lethal drug-smugglers in search of Caballo Blanco, one of the only outsiders to befriend the bashful natives. The colorful Caballo recounts an enthralling story involving the arduous Leadville ultra marathon and Rick Fisher, a greedy, hotheaded opportunist who bribed the Tarahumara out of hiding to compete. The exploited tribesmen participated in the grueling event three times before they disappeared back to their villages for good. An inspired Caballo followed the Tarahumara back to Mexico, where he ran the local trails and lived peacefully in isolation. His dream was to draw the top American contenders to this remote locale to lock horns with the clan in the ultimate endurance exhibition, and he wanted McDougall's help to make it happen. The author returned to the Copper Canyons with a handful of prominent distance champions, including Scott Jurek and Jenn Shelton, and the story culminates in a final 50-mile showdown. McDougall's background as a magazine writer is readily apparent-his prose is light and airy, informative without being pretentious. Most passages are short and engaging with extra doses of drama and exclamatory phrases thrown in to great effect.McDougall wisely grounds the narrative in his own struggle to engage in the concluding race-he was frustrated with his tendency to get injured-and he offers insightful sidebars on a variety of topics, from the development of the modern running shoe to an evolutionary argument that humans are literally "born to run."A terrific ride, recommended for any athlete. First printing of 75,000. Author tour to Boston, Boulder, Colo., Denver, New York, Portland, Ore., Salt Lake City, San Francisco."

发货及物流超快，第二天到货 上周周六，闲来无事，上午上了一个上午网，想起好久没买书了，似乎我买书有点上瘾，一段时间不逛书店就周身不爽，难道男人逛书店就象女人逛商场似的上瘾？于是下楼吃了碗面，这段时间非常冷，还下这雨，到书店主要目的是买一大堆书，上次专程去买却被告知缺货，这次应该可以买到了吧。可是到一楼的查询处问，小姐却说昨天刚到的一批又卖完了！晕！为什么不多进点货，于是上京东挑选书。好了，废话不说。好了，我现在来说说这本书的观感吧，网络文学融入主流文学之难，在于文学批评家的缺席，在于衡量标准的混乱，很长一段时间，文学批评家对网络文学集体失语，直到最近一两年来，诸多活跃于文学批评领域的评论家，才开始着手建立网络文学的评价体系，很难得的是，他们迅速掌握了网络文学的魅力内核，并对网络文学给予了高度评价、寄予了很深的厚望。随着网络文学理论体系的建立，以及网络文学在创作水准上的不断提高，网络文学成为主流文学中的主流已是清晰可见的事情，下一届的“五个一工程奖”，我们期待看到更多网络文学作品的入选。一直想买这书，又觉得对它了解太少，买了这本书，非常好，喜欢作者的感慨，不光是看历史或者史诗书，这样的感觉是好，就是书中的字太小了点，不利于保护视力！等了我2个星期，快递送到了传达室也不来个电话，自己打京东客服查到的。书是正版。现在，京东域名正式更换为JDCOM。其中的“JD”是京东汉语拼音（JING DON|G）首字母组合。从此，您不用再特意记忆京东的域名，也无需先搜索再点击，只要在浏览器输入JD.COM，即可方便快捷地访问京东，实现轻松购物。名为“Joy”的京东吉祥物我很喜欢，TA承载着京东对我们的承诺和努力。狗以对主人忠诚而著称，同时也拥有正直的品行，和快捷的奔跑速度。太喜爱京东了。|给大家介绍本好书《我们如何走到这一步》自序：这些年，你过得怎么样我曾经想过，如果能时光穿梭，遇见从前的自己，是否可以和她做朋友。但我审慎地不敢发表意见。因为从前的自己是多么无知，这件事是很清楚的。就算怀着再复杂的爱去回望，没准儿也能气个半死，看着她在那条傻乎乎的路上跌跌撞撞前行，忍不住开口相劝，搞不好还会被她厌弃。你看天下的事情往往都是一厢情愿。当然我也忍住了各种吐槽，人总是要给自己留余地的，因为还有一种可能是，未来的自己回望现在，看见的还是一个人。好在现在不敢轻易放狠话了，所以总算显得比年轻的时候还有一分从容。但不管什么时候的你，都是你。这时间轴上反复上演的就是打怪兽的过程。过去困扰你的事情，现在已可轻易解决，但往往还有更大的boss在前面等你。“人怎么可能没有烦恼呢”——无论是你初中毕业的那个午后，或者多年后功成名就那一天，总有不同忧伤涌上心头：有些烦恼是钱可以解决的，而更伤悲的是有些烦恼是钱解决不了的。我们曾经在年少时想象的“等到什么什么的时候就一切都好起来了”根本就是个谬论。所以，只能咬着牙继续朝前走吧。
