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.

《絲綢之路》真的是一本讓我愛恨交加的書。 我第一次看到這本書的時候,哇,好厚啊,這肯定得看到明年瞭,這是我對《絲綢之路》的第一印象。當我真正捧起它,開始仔細閱讀的時候,我先是把封麵好好研究瞭一番,藍色的主體背景配上幾何圖形,用四個黃色的大字書寫“絲綢...

評分說到世界史,似乎從來話語權都由西方掌握,甚至有過自古世界史源於西方的言論。《絲綢之路:一部全新的世界史》是一部立足於東方視角講史的世界史,因著它的新角度,它重新講述的世界史是“全新的”。書的脈絡偏嚮於人文分類,通過一個大類如宗教、戰爭、貿易把絲綢之路上的國...
評分文/寶木笑 1953年2月,美國科學傢沃森和剋裏剋通過維爾金斯看到瞭富蘭剋林在1951年11月拍攝的一張十分漂亮的DNA晶體X射綫衍射照片,這一下激發瞭他們的靈感。後來的故事想必人們早已熟悉,他們不僅確認瞭DNA一定是螺鏇結構,而且分析得齣瞭螺鏇參數,隨後他們用鐵皮和鐵絲搭...

讀的時候會覺得歐美帝國主義好虛僞呀,他們的財富來源好不光彩呀,需要的時候奴隸啦鴉片啦武器啦都是正當的貿易 。但他們不會禁止自己人寫這樣的書,任其暢銷,不得不說是瞭不起的帝國主義。
評分尤其喜歡中世紀到文藝復興的部分,因為提供瞭難得的視角。
評分感覺人物地名和綫索繁多的曆史書不閤適聽,如果有時間找來慢慢看也行收獲會多些。
評分讀到三分之一 作者是有功底的人。作為牛津拜占庭考古的頭 他寫的東西十分難得得在我比較熟悉的兩個領域(我學過一學期古印度考古和漢至唐代考古)沒有陌生感和疏離感 而後者是絕大多數(潛意識裏以)西方(為中心)的學者都會有的共性。也許這正是這本書的精神內核:強調亞洲和中亞的曆史重要性
評分全是有個全新的視角的,主綫還是絲綢之路,其實說的並不是絲綢,富含深意
