The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century.

In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance.

This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway.

When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from farms.

文章回憶：

沙漠中缺水比較嚴(yán)重，植物和動(dòng)物分別用不同的方式適應(yīng)沙漠缺水的環(huán)境。

沙漠中的植物有不同的種類，根據(jù)各自的特性盡量減少體內(nèi)水分的缺失：比如有通過(guò)根不斷擴(kuò)張至更深處獲得水分，有在炎熱是收縮，在有水分時(shí)張開(kāi)葉片儲(chǔ)存水分，有把根伸展至有水的湖泊或者地方獲取地表的水分等。

動(dòng)物也通過(guò)不同的方式減少活動(dòng)或者減少水分的失去。比如有的比在冷一些的環(huán)境下的同類要小許多，有的擁有的一個(gè)器官比在冷一些的環(huán)境下的同類大很多，減少水分的流失，還有一些熱的時(shí)候會(huì)hibernation，通過(guò)這樣的方式減少代謝。

映射世界

第一段：在航海行動(dòng)在歐洲開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，人們開(kāi)始意識(shí)到地圖的重要性，同時(shí)因?yàn)楹胶５膶?shí)踐活動(dòng)讓人們?cè)絹?lái)越意識(shí)到古地圖的錯(cuò)誤性。地圖印刷開(kāi)始成為一個(gè)有利可圖的行業(yè)，早期的地圖往往來(lái)自于私人收藏，古書(shū)上的繪畫(huà)，版本非常多。

第二段：歐洲最早的地圖更多體現(xiàn)了宗教思想，認(rèn)為地球居于中心，日月行星和恒星圍繞地球運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，在人們通過(guò)航?；顒?dòng)意識(shí)到這種思想的錯(cuò)誤后，這種地圖受到了當(dāng)時(shí)人們的assault. Ptolemy (托勒密)的地圖也屬于早期的地圖，但是這種地圖不像托勒密的宗教思想，它標(biāo)注了經(jīng)度緯度的原則原理，還有當(dāng)時(shí)人們能知道的最遠(yuǎn)的地理位置，所以受到的攻擊比較少，而且人們經(jīng)常查閱。雖然后來(lái)的發(fā)現(xiàn)越來(lái)越多的表明他的地圖不準(zhǔn)確。

第三段：后來(lái)的地圖逐漸發(fā)展，但是地圖描述準(zhǔn)確的范圍僅限于歐洲大陸人們?nèi)ミ^(guò)的地方，對(duì)于這些地區(qū)的城鎮(zhèn)有詳細(xì)描述，但是對(duì)于其他的landmass 的描述基本靠想象和口頭描述來(lái)描繪。更加精確的地圖隨著人們的航海經(jīng)歷范圍逐漸擴(kuò)大才漸漸補(bǔ)充完善。

第四段：地圖從扁平的到地球儀的出現(xiàn)。圓形地球儀的出現(xiàn)是地圖史上的一大進(jìn)步，因?yàn)楸馄降牡貓D上，人們沒(méi)有到達(dá)的地方一般省略或者用毛邊來(lái)表示，但是球形的地圖就沒(méi)有這種可能性，必須要精準(zhǔn)畫(huà)好。印刷業(yè)的發(fā)展解決了這一問(wèn)題，人們先在橢圓形的圖上畫(huà)好這個(gè)地圖然后拼接成一個(gè)球形，標(biāo)志地圖發(fā)展的一大進(jìn)步。
