Book Review 2-1

Under the Ground

In this book, many things about “under the ground” are introduced. At first, a famous wall painting of Lascaux in France is introduced. This wall painting was detected by five boys unexpectedly, when they took a dog for a walk. I was surprised, when I knew the circumstance about the discovery of the wall painting. And this book introduce about the way to be made caves and animals in cave. Caves are unique living environment. Caves are really dark and cold. Animals in caves adapt to the environment.


In modern ages, underground is used as spaces of human living. And in the present, there are subways, tunnels and basements of residences etc. under the ground. The underground is indispensable place.


I think that this book is interesting, because it catches the underground from many kinds of points. There are some pictures in this book. In them, the show cave in China is so beautiful. It is shined with colorful indirect lightings. I think that it is a harmony natural and human works.


I am happy that I always go shopping in underground shopping center and take a train naturally. At first, underground is a mere natural hole. But now, the hole became places of human living. I think human develop is wonderful.
