马丁•艾米斯（Martin Amis），英国当代著名作家，1949年生于牛津文学世家，著名小说家金斯利•艾米斯之子。马丁•艾米斯素有英国“文坛教父”之称，与伊恩•麦克尤恩（Ian McEwan）、朱利安•巴恩斯（Julian Barnes）并称英国“文坛三巨头”。1974年，艾米斯凭其处女作《雷切尔文件》摘得毛姆文学奖，并被誉为“文学天才”。此后艾米斯借其一系列风格多变的作品步入文坛巅峰：《金钱——绝命书》（1984）入选《时代》杂志“一百部最佳英语小说”之列；《时间箭——罪行的本质》（1991）和《黄狗》（2003）先后入围布克奖提名。虽然艾米斯屡次无缘该奖项，但却无损他成为“英国最受欢迎的年轻作家”（GRANTA杂志）的头号人物。马丁•艾米斯在创作上深受卡夫卡、纳博科夫、乔伊斯等大师的影响，在写实的手法上融入了意识流、黑色幽默及浓郁的魔幻主义风格...(展开全部)

Though the early detection of these abnormalities can potentially save lives...(展开全部)

这个故事是讲一个小女孩在一个寒冷的冬夜里跟着父亲去寻找猫头鹰的故事，小女孩跟着父亲的脚步在雪地里寻找着猫头鹰的踪迹，书中很细腻地描述小女孩的心情，以及人与猫头鹰之间的互动，真的很值得大人小孩细细品味喔！ 留白是说画面，空白是说页面。留白是绘画技巧，空白是设计手段。留白和空白，都是图画书常用的表现方式，它们为读者提供想象的空间，具有无中生有和无中胜有的效果。美国画家约翰?勋伯赫，把一个父女俩雪夜看猫头鹰的故事画出了一种中国水墨画的“墨韵”。你看，他用超出二分之一画面的留白，把森林里厚厚的积雪表现得多么形象啊！仿佛竖起耳朵，就能听到那个系着红围巾的少女踩踏雪地的“沙沙”声。这个故事译成中文有一个非常诗意的名字，叫《月下看猫头鹰》。

"As expansive as the broad sweep of the great owl's wings and as close and comforting as a small hand held on a wintry night . . . The visual images have a sense of depth and seem to invite readers into this special nighttime world."--School Library Journal, starred review. Full color. 1988 Caldecott Medal Book.
