David Christian is a professor of world history at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and co-founder, with Bill Gates, of the Big History Project. In 1989, Christian began teaching the first course on big history, an interdisciplinary field that examines history starting with the Big Bang, and his work came to the attention of Bill Gates through a video course produced by The Teaching Company. In 2014, Gates and Christian were the subjects of the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. He is the author of Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History, which won the World History Association book prize (2004), and is writing a history of Central Asia. He is also the author of Living Water: Vodka and Russian Society on the Eve of Emancipation and (with R. E. F. Smith) Bread and Salt: A Social and Economic History of Food and Drink in Russia. He has spoken about big history at the TED Conference, the World Economic Forum, and on the Comedy Central program The Colbert Report.

读后感
马克吐温曾经说过，人类总是把自己视为宇宙的中心——或者至少是整个历史的中心。 而事实上，从大爆炸到现在，宇宙进化经历了大约138亿年的时间。科学家将宇宙分为8个层次，分别为物理进化、化学进化、天体演化、地质演变、生物进化、社会进化、人工自然进化。人类历史只是宇宙...

用特别的形式读了这本小书。确实是fleeting，用来粗略了解还行。
评分Christian教授07年出版，很薄，同样讲大历史导论，完全可以视作是他的《Maps of Time》的迷你版，非常适用于中学教材、或是对大历史导论有兴趣，却不知如何入手的入门书。教授虽不是第一个提出“大历史导论”的历史学家，但却是我（私自）认为将此理论诠释的非常精彩的人，而且他语言的运用通俗易懂，绝非难以下咽的学术调调，书名起的也好。08年留学的第一堂历史课就是他的大历史导论，将我领进历史学的世界，我今生是何等的荣幸。
