圖書描述

The history of the 20th century is marked by two great narratives: nations locked in savage wars over ideology and territory, and scientists overturning the received wisdom of preceding generations. For Paul Johnson, the modern era begins with one of the second types of revolutions, in 1919, when English astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington translated observations from a solar eclipse into proof of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which turned Newtonian physics on its head. Eddington's research became an international cause célèbre: "No exercise in scientific verification, before or since, has ever attracted so many headlines or become a topic of universal conversation," Johnson writes, and it made Einstein into science's first real folk hero.

Einstein looms large over Johnson's narrative, as do others who sought to harness the forces of nature and society: men like Mao Zedong, "a big, brutal, earthy and ruthless peasant," and Adolf Hitler, creator of "a brutal, secure, conscience-less, successful, and, for most Germans, popular regime." Johnson takes a contentious conservative viewpoint throughout: he calls the 1960s "America's suicide attempt," deems the Watergate affair "a witch-hunt ... run by liberals in the media," and deems the rise of Margaret Thatcher a critical element in Western civilization's "recovery of freedom"--arguable propositions all, but ones advanced in a stimulating and well-written narrative that provides much food for thought in the course of its more than 800 pages. --Gregory McNamee --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

文/严杰夫 尽管我们离开“20世纪”才刚刚15年,但分明已有了一种“回首却已百年身”的感觉。在许多知识分子眼里,20世纪是一个不堪回首的世纪,对抗和暴力成为这个世纪的大部分元素:两次世界大战、美苏冷战、希特勒大屠杀、层出不穷的局部战争……正如历史学家托尼•朱特...

猫和鼠的游戏 对于公司和工作场所,我们可能习惯了这样的一种模式:大开间中的格子间+领导办公室+会议室。 正式入职第一天会发一本小册子,上面密密麻麻列了一系列的规章制度,其中最基本的部分是考勤制度,几点到几点上班,节假日,请假规定…… 我们也可能习惯了这样的一个场...

端午回家看过本书的上册的约一半,有一部分是在火车上看的。颇感失望,既有对原著的写作风格与观点,也有对译者的水平与质量。著者总是卖弄笔法的风格颇为令人不快,从小事件中突出大历史这种写作方法如果发展成讲故事就严重偏离了它的方向。轶事与见闻总不能代表历史的全部。...
