Neil MacGregor has been the director of the British Museum since 2002; prior to that, he was the director of the National Gallery in London. A popular presenter on BBC television and radio, he was named Briton of the Year in 2008. He lives in England.
In A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neal MacGregor, director of the British Museum, takes readers on a tour of the world by way of its material goods. From everyday items such as pots, utensils, and money to valuables such as art and jewelry, MacGregor shows that the things humans have left behind are often as rich and informative as written texts. Whether it's a strange and unique object like a throne made of rifles from Mozambique or a medieval German crystal, or a familiar one like a sculpture of the head of Augustus or Hokusai's painting The Great Wave, MacGregor skillfully weaves each one into the fabric of the society that it came from. In that sense, the book is much more than a museum catalog: it's a hundred keyhole views into a hundred different societies from around the world and throughout history.

在開篇之初,作者便提到:“重訪一個兒時參觀過的博物館,許多人會感慨我們自身變化之大,而物品卻一如既往。”作為中國讀者,恐怕很難有機會二次遊覽大英博物館,唯一能夠體會作者心境的途徑,大概就是先讀讀這本《大英博物館》,然後當有機會去實地遊覽的時候體會一下重訪之...
評分確實是一部非常適中的曆史普及讀物,不論是趣味性還是專業性都恰到好處 但重點是,為什麼總是會對基督教有意無意的攻擊。並且這種攻擊非常明顯是很不負責的言論,以緻讓人很懷疑整部作品的嚴謹性。 比如講大洪水闆(p95)中,因其成文時間比《聖經》早瞭400年就據此認為聖經...
評分編纂世界史從來就是一件令人望而生畏的事。且不說那些宏觀抽象且枯燥的經濟史、政治史、思想史,即使微觀領域的,也有建築史、服飾史等等,而且各大洲各個國傢各個時代的情形又錯綜復雜。如何將這些連起來可以繞地球無數個圈的觀點和數據聯綴成一幅疏密有緻、,的巨幅畫...

評分如果是要寫一本關於世界曆史的書,總免不瞭某種意義上的宏大敘事,譬如人類的起源、人口的遷徙、國族的爭鬥等等,一切都被淹沒在浩瀚的曆史長河中,被淘洗齣來的結果就是所有政治正確的論述:階級流動、技術進步和社會變遷;另一種可能就是或八卦或戲謔或悲壯地臧否人物,最後...

評分曆史的注腳
評分內容淺,結構散。更適閤廣播,每晚來一個小故事。
評分Brilliant
評分好創意,長知識。要是選題和解說能更注重文物的考古和藝術價值,不要刻意追求社會價值就更好瞭。
