具体描述
In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. From the astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán, which had running water, immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city, to the Mexican corn that was so carefully created in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.

读后感
1492年前的美洲大陆究竟是什么样的呢？《1491》就给你揭秘。汇聚考古学、人类学、生物学、语言学、社会学、人种学等多领域的最新研究成果，远离学术争论，摆脱内行术语，作者能够把学术发现清晰地呈献给读者。在有关前哥伦布时代美洲文明的入门书籍里，最好最新的一部。
评分这是一本有关世界历史的绝世好书，文章并未以1492年哥伦布到达美洲后开始的欧洲侵略为开头来叙述整个西半球的历史。许多研究西方历史的学者都忽视甚至对哥伦布踏上美洲前的文化及文明成果不以为意。那些为黄金而痴迷的少数征服者们如何能够将数百万人创造的辉煌王国踩于脚下？...
评分感谢中信出版社让我有机会翻译《1491》。感谢此书的策划编辑覃田甜、责任编辑王泱、责任编辑杜梁、营销编辑李娆等人的工作。 很多人或许认为，此书与我们、与中国、与当前的时代和它面临的问题没有多少相关性。我认为恰恰相反。就此，我在翻译和修改的漫长过程中做了很多笔记...

To me, it is a revelation. Thanks Mann.
评分Year 2018 Book 4 需要有一定的耐心去解决语言，认知上的障碍。确实很难对目前准备考GRE的我来讲。 读不懂的都觉得牛逼。牛逼！
