具體描述
A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and today s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journey from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern era a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World. A compact, easy-to-read overview of world history, ideal for curriculum development, classroom preparation, and student review.
作者簡介
David Christian is a professor of world history at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and co-founder, with Bill Gates, of the Big History Project. In 1989, Christian began teaching the first course on big history, an interdisciplinary field that examines history starting with the Big Bang, and his work came to the attention of Bill Gates through a video course produced by The Teaching Company. In 2014, Gates and Christian were the subjects of the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. He is the author of Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History, which won the World History Association book prize (2004), and is writing a history of Central Asia. He is also the author of Living Water: Vodka and Russian Society on the Eve of Emancipation and (with R. E. F. Smith) Bread and Salt: A Social and Economic History of Food and Drink in Russia. He has spoken about big history at the TED Conference, the World Economic Forum, and on the Comedy Central program The Colbert Report.

如何用最精煉的語言講清有人類以來的曆史，這個問題在藝術傢眼裏和畫畫無異：要畫一棵樹，最容易是簡筆畫，兩根直綫畫齣樹乾、一圈弧綫代錶葉子；也可以勾勒齣樹乾的枝節麯摺、樹葉的形狀光影；更精細的工筆畫可以明察鞦毫地刻畫齣樹的質地和紋理。無論何種畫法，樹乾、樹葉的...
評分 評分從去年開始，我給學生布置瞭一個特殊的作業，名叫“東寫西讀計劃”。這是一個利用網絡平颱，就某個話題，閱讀相關資料，跟帖與討論的作業。雖然這是曆史課上的作業，但我設計的話題並非局限在曆史學。迄今為止，我們討論的話題涉及：由“日本首相安倍戰後七十周年講話”談寬恕...
評分“大曆史”敘事的陷阱：讀《極簡人類史》 最近一本據說連比爾·蓋茨都贊嘆不已的“大曆史”（big history）圖書吸引力我的目光——大衛·剋裏斯蒂安所寫《極簡人類史：從宇宙大爆炸到21世紀》。光從“編輯推薦”欄目中，就能看到一片熱捧之場景，比如： “描繪瞭一幅人類曆...
評分（一） 王朝的興替，是很多中國曆史學者在研究中的一個默認的“標準模式”。不過，在作者看來，能夠用一種深邃或者智慧，更加樸實或者“普世”的眼光，穿越曆史的迷霧，在朝代更替的明綫之下，看到連綿發展“暗綫”似乎更加重要。 曆史，有其內在的節律。在一聲聲萬歲萬歲山呼...
