This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.
Jared Diamond is Professor of Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Trained in physiology, he later took up the study of ecology and has made fundamental contributions to both disciplines. He is among the worlds leading zoologists and experts on birds. He has made many trips to the mountains of New Guinea to study their unique birds, rediscovered their long-lost bowerbird, and advises New Guinea governments on conservation. As well as writing technical articles in his many fields of interest, Jared Diamond writes regularly for popular science journals. He is married, and has twin sons.

作为后人,我们总是免不了要对发生过的历史作些“如果”的想象,特别是当这种历史对我们是带有屈辱色彩的历史。比如中国人就常想“如果戊戌变法成功了中国如何”,“没有文化大革命又如何”,同时也会有大量“为什么这样,为什么那样”的问题,如“为什么日本能维新成功,...
评分 评分0. 发现书看一半时往往更愿意写评论。常常看完了之后当初的兴奋也没了。 所以,这本砖头般厚实的书今天刚刚K完四分之一,因为兴奋莫名,所以先来说几句。要是看完了还有要讲的,再来添吧。。。 这本书已经流行了好一阵子了,可是这个书名老是让我想起那个叫“Gun & Roses” ...
评分我不是学历史的,不知道“大历史”这个词具体是什么时候在大陆悄然兴起。从我自己的感受来看,大概是黄仁宇的《中国大历史》一书以中文出版后热卖,“大历史”的观念就开始在民众和一般知识分子中流行。随后就有一系列西方学者的历史著作被介绍到中国。在我看来,大历史观念似...
