可以肯定的说豆瓣关于本书的评价过高,翻看一些评论,犹如小学生读作观后感,更像是为了完成某种任务而写。(大致就是刷书评的水军) 回到本书 首先作者想要完成一个非常宏大的全球发展史的大格局,但是他没有这个能力,无论是文字构造还是历史事件的描述,都是泛泛而谈,引用...
评分“丝绸之路”是指起始于古代中国,连接亚洲、非洲和欧洲的古代陆上商业贸易路线。“丝绸之路”有广义和狭义之分。广义上的“丝绸之路”分为陆上丝绸之路和海上丝绸之路;狭义上的丝绸之路一般指陆上丝绸之路。 陆上丝绸之路起源于汉武帝派张骞出使西域,形成其基本干道。它以...
评分丝绸之路,对于中国人来讲并不陌生。西汉张骞两次出使西域,最终建立了东方连通中亚的商道,完成了当时几乎全部意义上的所谓文明世界的连接。“丝绸之路”这个概念,则是德国人李希霍芬在1877年出版的《中国》之中首次提出的。之所以以“丝绸”来命名这条(或者这几条)商道,...
评分文/宝木笑 1953年2月,美国科学家沃森和克里克通过维尔金斯看到了富兰克林在1951年11月拍摄的一张十分漂亮的DNA晶体X射线衍射照片,这一下激发了他们的灵感。后来的故事想必人们早已熟悉,他们不仅确认了DNA一定是螺旋结构,而且分析得出了螺旋参数,随后他们用铁皮和铁丝搭...
评分历史反映的是发生在过去的客观现实,是不随人的主观意志改变的,但这并不意味着我们无法选择看到历史的哪个部分,并且用什么样的眼光去看待。 对于“没看见”的那些部分,后来的人们就会在自己已有资源的基础上开展自己的研究,于是就出现了历史究竟由谁来说、怎么说、从什么角...

The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east.
For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again.
A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.
对预定主题的历史写作持观望态度,萨珊时期东方教会的几个引用有些过时了。
评分Interesting perspective.
评分作为新疆出生长大的汉子,从小听得“自古以来就是**不可分割的一部分”自是有些厌倦,更想了解中亚地区古时候(比如200ad-1300ad)与西方,东方的文化和经济上的交流。这本书作为一个引子真的是很有趣,至少实现了我读它的初衷。此外还可以感受到历史不断地重演,时代的进步非常缓慢,作为一个个体也是蛮无奈的。
评分粗略读完,看得不仔细
评分the basic principle has remained the same: goods and ideas have flowed through the Silk Roads and, consequently, the desire to control them has shaped the course of history and the world of today.
