A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and today s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journey from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern era a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World. A compact, easy-to-read overview of world history, ideal for curriculum development, classroom preparation, and student review.
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.

評分Christian教授07年齣版,很薄,同樣講大曆史導論,完全可以視作是他的《Maps of Time》的迷你版,非常適用於中學教材、或是對大曆史導論有興趣,卻不知如何入手的入門書。教授雖不是第一個提齣“大曆史導論”的曆史學傢,但卻是我(私自)認為將此理論詮釋的非常精彩的人,而且他語言的運用通俗易懂,絕非難以下咽的學術調調,書名起的也好。08年留學的第一堂曆史課就是他的大曆史導論,將我領進曆史學的世界,我今生是何等的榮幸。
評分用特彆的形式讀瞭這本小書。確實是fleeting,用來粗略瞭解還行。

中国历史是我读初高中时候最讨厌的学科之一,我似乎永远弄不清楚土地制度为何如此重要,也搞不明白为什么藩镇割据到底是什么意思。在我最近的书单上,也没有任何中国历史。 直到我碰见这一本《哈佛极简中国史》。 这本书英文原名其实是《The Heritage of Chinese Civilization...
評分0p 我们只有从各自的国家、民族历史中退后一步甚至更多,将整个人类历史当成整体来审视—置身于地球史乃至宇宙史,才能更好地理解人类这个物种的特殊性,以及我们未来即将面临的挑战。 16p 生活在地球村,不到要了解彼此的分歧,更应该清楚相互共同的关切,要想避免因战争或生...
評分我们迫切地需要理解整个人类的历史,这正是眼前这本《极简人类史》的写作初衷。今天的世界联系空前紧密,面临的问题也越来越多。生活在地球村,我们不但要了解彼此的分歧,更应该清楚彼此共同的关切。如果我们想避免因战争或生态崩溃( 或两者共同作用)导致的全球性危机,“ ...
評分如何用最精炼的语言讲清有人类以来的历史,这个问题在艺术家眼里和画画无异:要画一棵树,最容易是简笔画,两根直线画出树干、一圈弧线代表叶子;也可以勾勒出树干的枝节曲折、树叶的形状光影;更精细的工笔画可以明察秋毫地刻画出树的质地和纹理。无论何种画法,树干、树叶的...
評分中华文明是世界上最古老的文明之一,她历经数千年仍然完好地保持了文化传统的延续性,堪称人类历史上的奇迹。正是因为她的独特和神秘,使其成为欧美历史学界的研究热点之一。 《哈佛极简中国史》是一本广受欧美读者欢迎的中国史入门读物,其代表了欧美主流的中国史观。美国汉...
