THE SEVENTEEN TRADITIONS

Book ID/图书代码： 11701512B53446

English Summary/英文概要： My boyhood in a small town in Connecticut was shaped by my family, my friends, our neighbors, my chores and hobbies, the town’s culture and environment, its schools, libraries, factories, and businesses, their workers, and by storms that came from nowhere to disrupt everything. . . . Yet childhood in any family is a mysterious experience. . . . What shapes the mind, the personality, the character?

So begins this unexpected and extraordinary book by Ralph Nader. Known for his lifetime of selfless activism, Nader now looks back to the earliest days of his own life, to his serene and enriching childhood in bucolic Winsted, Connecticut. From listening to learning, from patriotism to argument, from work to simple enjoyment, Nader revisits seventeen key traditions he absorbed from his parents, his siblings, and the people in his community, and draws from them inspiring lessons for today’s society. Warmly human, rich with sensory memories and lasting wisdom, it offers a kind of modern-day parable of how we grow from children into responsible adults—a reminder of a time when nature and community were central to the way we all learned and lived.

所以开始这本由拉尔夫•纳德写的意想不到的和非凡的书。以一生无私的行动著称,纳德现在回想起自己早期的生活,他平静和充实的康涅狄格州温斯特市田园的童年。从听到学,从爱国主义到争论,从工作到简单的享受,纳德回顾从他的父母,他的兄弟姐妹,和他社区的人民听来的十七个主要传统,并将他们鼓舞人心的经验教训用于今天的社会。热情的人,丰富的感官记忆和持久的智慧,它提供了我们如何从孩子成长为负责任的大人的现代寓言——1段我们学习和生活方式的提醒。（LNL）
