SWEETNESS AND BLOOD: HOW SURFING SPREAD FROM HAWAII AND CALIFORNIA TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, WITH SOME UNEXPECTED RESULTS
Book ID/图书代码： 03540010B36840
English Summary/英文概要： An elegant and surprising history of surfing that examines its cultural influence in some of the most unexpected places
How did an obscure tribal sport from precolonial Hawaii—one that was nearly eliminated on its home islands by Christian missionaries—jump oceans to California and Australia? And how did it become such a worldwide passion, influencing lives around the globe?
In this brilliantly written travel adventure, journalist and surfer Moore visits unlikely surfing destinations —Gaza, West Africa, North England, Berlin, Bali, Japan, Cuba, and Morocco—to give the reader a folk history of surfing. This is a personal sketch for any curious reader of how the modern sport moved around the world and mingled with cultures that either have nothing to do with Hawaii or have strong reasons to resist pop silliness from the First World. The result is the story of hippies, soldiers, nutcases, and colonialism; a checkered history of the spread of Western culture in the years after World War II.
Moore brings to his subject a sense of adventure and relevance that will appeal to surfers and nonsurfers alike.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一场华美惊人的历史回眸，检视了一些最意想不到的地方的文化影响一项夏威夷沦为殖民地前，在其本土几乎消失殆尽的部落运动，是怎样越洋过海来到加州和澳大利亚的？它又是如何成为世界范围内的共同爱好，影响全球人民的生活？
在这部完美呈现的旅游冒险中，记者和冲浪者穆瑞到访了诸如加沙、非洲西部、英国北部、柏林、巴厘岛、日本、古巴、摩洛哥等不可能冲浪的地域，给读者展示了关于冲浪的民间历史。这是一个个人描绘，对那些好奇现代运动是如何遍布全世界以及如何融和与夏威夷文化或第一世界的愚蠢抵制无关的读者是很好的释疑。故事的主人公有嬉皮士、士兵、疯子以及殖民主义；记录了二次世界大战之后西方文化传播的多变历史。
穆瑞将主题上升到富有冒险精神，无论是冲浪者或非冲过浪者都会喜欢。(XJJ)
