在学校里面学历史,学的都是成王败寇的故事,哪个朝代被推翻了,哪个朝代成立了,哪个伟大的君主做了什么伟大的事情,哪个国家发明了什么,历史,好像就是随着这件件宏大的事情组成的。 然而,这样的历史真的很无聊,那些成王败寇的故事早就随风散去,那些伟大的人物早就灰飞烟...
评分16世纪之前的世界历史实际上是一部亚欧大陆的历史。从地理学上讲,亚欧大陆占有世界陆地的40%,囊括世界人口的90%,是面积最大、最重要的大陆板块。亚欧大陆也是人类最早、最先进的文明发源地,构成了世界历史的“中心地带”。与那些完全孤立或半孤立的文明不同,通过贸易、战...
评分我想,热衷于玩RPG游戏的玩家都有这样的经验,接到一个任务时需要携带合理而足够多的装备,除了预期的任务奖励外,我们还依赖于中途的补给和游戏贸易系统来提升角色的等级和属性。而没有贸易的游戏就如同没有交流的现实世界,了无生趣。而丝绸之路就是历史上的这样一条充满商机...
评分主题是好的,内容也不错。但读完感觉也就仅此而已。某北大教授在微博指出此书翻译上舛误较多,对细节把握不够深入。说感觉匆匆忙忙就出了中译本,质量堪忧。另外我并不理解为什么一本书刚被推出来的时候就成了现象级畅销书,这不是在中国才开始卖吗?亦或是直接拿了外国的销量...
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,...

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.
大西北!敦煌。。。想要去看看你
评分英国伊朗石油纷争那里花了好大力气感觉太费笔墨了
评分大西北!敦煌。。。想要去看看你
评分居然找不到他的「The New Silk Roads」只好在這兒評價。一句話,這本「剪報」是作者從歷史學家轉型KOL的扛鼎之作。
评分读到三分之一 作者是有功底的人。作为牛津拜占庭考古的头 他写的东西十分难得得在我比较熟悉的两个领域(我学过一学期古印度考古和汉至唐代考古)没有陌生感和疏离感 而后者是绝大多数(潜意识里以)西方(为中心)的学者都会有的共性。也许这正是这本书的精神内核:强调亚洲和中亚的历史重要性
