Let people think on their own first.

Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, even if hints of it are ultimately detectable. In a similar way, radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 spread around the globe and reached the West Coast of the United States in 10 days, its levels measurable but minuscule.

日前看到一個很萌的藏書印(圖一),是來自工藤好美(KUDO YOSHIMI)教授,以古希臘神話智慧之神的象徵「貓頭鷹」為主體,四周圍繞其姓名縮寫「Y. KUDO」及希臘文「BIB」、「ΛΟΣ」,意即「工藤好美之書」。[希臘文「BIBΛΟΣ (βίβλος)」(biblos)意指「圖書」(Books)]。
工藤教授(1898.1.26-1992.2.22,圖二),日本大分縣人,自臺北帝國大學創校(1928)起擔任文政學部英文科助教授,專攻19世紀英國文學,1945年臺北帝國大學圖書館向工藤教授購藏之圖書,亦多為此主題。其與島田謹二、矢野峰人、立石鐵臣、楊雲萍、吳濁流(圖三)等人均有交遊。
大家在圖書館的館藏中發現過什麼有趣的藏書印嗎?歡迎與我們分享!
