From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

評分 評分很快地翻了几章书,发现中学时代学习的哲学的辩证法还是很有道理的,整本厚厚的书,用辩证法总结就三句话: 1. 世界上的万事万物(一切存在)都是普遍存在联系的,世上没有独立存在的东西 2. 世界是永恒变化发展的 3. 最后要善于利用万物之间的联系(如混搭),用发展的眼光...
評分作者开篇两章就在强调现在世界的复杂性和不可预测性, 并且一直在使用沙堆的概念来比喻,当向沙堆不停的添加沙子的时候,崩溃是早晚的事情,可是什么时候发生确实不可预测的。我们需要思考,需要从新的角度去思考,像一个维护者、一个园丁去思考,只有具有灵活性和适应性...
