英文导读

Back to its origin

The University of California， Santa Barbara (commonly referred to as UC Santa Barbara or UCSB) is a public research university and one of the ten general campuses of the University of California system. UCSB traces its origins back to the Anna Blake School which was founded in 1891 and offered training in home economics and industrial arts. The Anna Blake School was taken over by the state in 1909 and became the Santa Barbara State Normal School. 1921， a liberal arts program was authorized and the school was renamed again to Santa Barbara State College. UCSB joined the University of California system in 1944 and is the third-oldest general-education campus in the system. From 1944 to 1958 the school was known as Santa Barbara College of the University of California， before taking on its current name. The focus of the University of California is on research. Like all University of California campuses， UCSB prioritizes academic development over vocational learning.

    The Life, Adventures & Piracies of the Famous

    英文图书(英)Daniel Defoe
    The Life, Adventures and Piracies of the Famous Captain Singleton is a novel by Daniel Defoe, who is an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy, primarily published in 1720. It has been republished multiple times. Captain Singleton is considered to have been partly inspired by the exploits of the English pirate Henry Every, who operated in the late 17th century. The narrative describes the life of the Englishman, Singleton, stolen from a well-to-do family as a child and raised by Gypsies, eventually making his way to sea. The former half of the book concerns Singleton's crossing of Africa, the latter half referring to his life as a pirate in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Defoe's description of piracy focuses on the most part on matters of economics and logistics, making it an intriguing if not particularly gripping read.
