Jack McIver Weatherford is the former DeWitt Wallace Professor of anthropology at Macalester College in Minnesota. He is best known for his 2004 book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star, Mongolia’s highest national honor for foreigners.
His books in the late 20th century on the influence of Native American cultures have been translated into numerous languages. In addition to publishing chapters and reviews in academic books and journals, Weatherford has published numerous articles in national newspapers to popularize his historic and anthropological coverage of Native American cultures, as well as the American political culture in Congress in the 20th century. He has become a frequent commentator on TV and radio.
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-?ve years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.

在沒有成吉思汗之前,濛古隻是一個活躍於貝加爾湖東南,肯特山脈之間的幾個小部族。他們以血族關係維持著原始的部族關係,以血脈關係建立權力基礎,以血脈關係分配資源包括繁衍後代的權力,血族關係淩駕於任何社會關係之上。 他們南鄰乾燥戈壁,北接廣袤的中西伯利亞高原,與世...
評分盡管有當時世界最發達的郵驛係統,但要有效統治地跨歐亞的中央集權國傢,沒有類似有綫電報的通訊係統是不可想象的。
評分受主席詩詞,更準確的說,受以往教育灌輸的結果,在以前對成吉思汗的全部印象,就是“一代天驕,隻識彎弓射大雕”。《成》告訴我們,這句詞的前半部分是正確的,後半句則需要修正。 成吉思汗和他的子孫們,徵服瞭包括三十個國傢和超過三十億人口,而完成這個成就所賴以的濛古部...
評分圖書標籤: 曆史 濛古史 濛古 History 英文原版 美國 非小說類 原版
聽書。中學課本學瞭好多元朝的事,長大後纔知道根本不是曆史中的濛古國。濛古國對歐亞溝通的作用,怎樣用那麼少的人統治世界上最大的地盤?
評分與和平年代不閤時宜的彪悍民族。
評分成叔一生開掛,子孫解鎖歐亞,後颱大女主買單,如此設定最終完成國際版圖係統升級,實屬創造性毀滅的最硬核詮釋。????
評分書裏有不少以前沒有留意或者沒怎麼被主流文化宣傳過的內容,後記裏介紹的各路學者為研究這段曆史作齣的貢獻和犧牲很讓人佩服。
評分非常能扯(中性)。行文大氣美觀,有吸引力。可惜有些小地方不太嚴謹。我讀到的:濛元以輕騎兵戰術得天下,以商業帝國守成,亡於黑死病對商業的破壞。
