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.

評分所以看這種外文學術小品一定要快,因為作者會把你當成三歲小孩兒來講。。
按语:第一,这篇读书笔记基本上包括了所有非此领域的外行需要知道的内容。第二,作者的观点和我个人的评论都混在一起,由于是一篇面向大众的读物,在此我不作标注。第三,豆瓣的书评好像不能加图,也不能在文字上加链接,有点影响阅读体验。 这本书想要回答的核心问题是借作者...
評分作为后人,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,...
