137 radiation to a Japanese balloon that shut down nuclear production. Some events occurred during Adams’s tenure as an engineer; some persisted as stories from before his time. Part 4 details the philosophy behind building government homes along with Adams’s personal experience living in one, while part 5 elaborates on some of the fl ourishing environmental aspects of the reservation, such as an elk herd and rare and new plant species. Adams’s literary and poetic responses to his experiences are the substance of part 6. His poems can increase in resonance with readers who now know their context from the previous parts. Th e last lines of “Burial Ground” seem to sum up Adams’s stance on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation: “Th e earth is full of artifacts, fossils, and ghosts. / Th e earth does not regret, only remembers” (13– 14). Th is narrative will interest people focused on environmental history and the ways the United States has used western regions as areas of experimentation and containment for nuclear production. People interested in memoir will be intrigued by the way the book’s isolated parts come together in the poetry refl ecting Adams’s confl icted relationship with the reservation. He insists that “[his] years at Hanford were the safest of [his] working life” (62). Proud description of a maintenancefree containment barrier reveals his belief that he participated in good work at Hanford and that the best combination of economy and eff ectiveness is addressing the contamination there. His poetry and sentiment toward the fl ourishing fl ora and fauna on the reservation show a deep relationship to this controversial site. His narrative tries to capture the entirety of this paradox.

来自山上的咆哮：关于 Packrats、山猫、野火、脾气暴躁、醉酒的 Mary Kay 女士，以及迈克尔 P. 布兰奇在高沙漠中与野外的其他遭遇

137 对日本气球的辐射关闭了核生产。亚当斯担任工程师期间发生了一些事件；有些作为他那个时代之前的故事一直存在。第 4 部分详细介绍了建造政府住宅背后的哲学以及亚当斯在其中的个人经历，而第 5 部分详细说明了保留地的一些蓬勃发展的环境方面，例如麋鹿群和稀有和新植物物种。亚当斯对其经历的文学和诗意回应是第 6 部分的实质内容。他的诗可以增加与现在从前几部分了解其背景的读者的共鸣。“墓地”的最后几行似乎总结了亚当斯对汉福德核保护区的立场：“地球上到处都是人工制品、化石和鬼魂。/ 大地不后悔，只记得”（13-14）。这种叙述将使关注环境历史的人们感兴趣，以及美国利用西部地区作为核生产试验和遏制地区的方式。对回忆录感兴趣的人会被这本书的孤立部分在反映亚当斯与保留地冲突关系的诗歌中融合在一起的方式所吸引。他坚持认为“[他] 在汉福德的岁月是[他] 工作生涯中最安全的时期”（62）。对免维护隔离屏障的自豪描述表明，他相信他在汉福德参与了出色的工作，并且经济和效率的最佳组合是解决那里的污染问题。他对保留地中蓬勃发展的动植物的诗意和情感显示出与这个有争议的地点有着深厚的关系。他的叙述试图抓住这个悖论的全部内容。Max Frazier 美国空军学院（退休）
