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.

提到成吉思汗,我們都覺得很熟悉。因為他是曆史書上的著名人物,他是“一代天驕,成吉思汗”。 可是要說起他的生平事跡,好像又並不瞭解,直到翻開這本書——《成吉思汗與今日世界之形成》。 它的作者是傑剋·威澤弗德,著名的濛元史專傢,加州大學聖地亞哥分校人類學博士,第...
評分這段曆史沒有比較官方的自個兒的文字描述,大都是外邊人給他們的。我在看的《billions》不止兩次對濛古人的描述,他們屠村,他們能像愛因斯坦一樣思考…《追風箏的人》哈桑被認為是“萬戶”哈紮拉,給塔利班屠殺,還有幾十年前給蘇聯人屠殺。《血與骨》的主角在練功房放的神是...
評分 評分整理瞭一下忽必烈在位期間 在政治 民生上相比宋朝而言顯而易見的進步之處 其中部分內容即便是今日再看也是相當超前的 甚至有些人道主義精神的苗頭 比如帶薪公務員 普及教育 廢棄死刑 醫療賠償等等 1.法律規定破産條例 (濛古法律規定可以宣布破産,但為防止利用它來逃避債務...

評分與和平年代不閤時宜的彪悍民族。
評分超不嚴肅軼事錦集。第一部分講的就是射雕英雄傳裡的劇情......
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“God gives different ways to man as different fingers to hand." 曆史不是死在玻璃容器的植物標本,它不能被扁平的紙張完美而真實地畫齣來。相反,它在不同的社會和個體中被賦有的生命和可能截然不同的意義。一個曆史事件,不會在發生的日期上瞬間停止,它仍然在影響著我們的世界直到未來未完成。
