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.

讀後感
《人類簡史》讓我們看到瞭人類殘暴的一麵，而《極簡人類史》又展示瞭智人的智慧。 作者大衛•剋裏斯蒂安，曆史學者，專注於研究“大曆史”理論，著有《大曆史概論：從原點到宇宙萬物》等。本書是一本既學術又通俗的人類發展史，它涉及人類史的細節不深，但內容全麵，結構脈...

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...
用戶評價
Christian教授07年齣版，很薄，同樣講大曆史導論，完全可以視作是他的《Maps of Time》的迷你版，非常適用於中學教材、或是對大曆史導論有興趣，卻不知如何入手的入門書。教授雖不是第一個提齣“大曆史導論”的曆史學傢，但卻是我（私自）認為將此理論詮釋的非常精彩的人，而且他語言的運用通俗易懂，絕非難以下咽的學術調調，書名起的也好。08年留學的第一堂曆史課就是他的大曆史導論，將我領進曆史學的世界，我今生是何等的榮幸。
评分詳見中文版，中信即將推齣《極簡人類史：從宇宙大爆炸到21世紀》
