Why the West Rules - for Now pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Ian Morris teaches classics, history, and archaeology at Stanford University. Born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1960, he now lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. He has directed excavations in Greece and Italy, and has published 11 books and more than 80 articles. His most recent book, "Why the West Rules--For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future" (Profile Books, 2010), tells the stories of East and West across 15,000 years, from the final days of the Ice Age into the 22nd century, explaining why the West came to dominate the rest--and what will happen next. His next book, called "War! What is It Good For?" will look at war from prehuman times to our own, making two controversial claims--first, that war has helped humanity as well as harming it; and second, that war is now changing out of all recognition.

Like most of us living in the West I have have pondered this question from time to time. Why did the west come out in front, and will it last? Should we all start learning Chinese? And was it inevitable - were Westerners more open-minded, or harder working, or were we just super-lucky to have had the industrial revolution? Or was it simply the work of exceptional people such as Julius Caesar, James Watt or Columbus?
Morris looks at this from a different angle. He uses an index of social development to analyse how societies have risen and fallen (including energy capture, organisation/urbanisation, war-making and information technology). But most importantly he tells a brilliant story of global history. It's a big book, but it has to be, to cover its full scope.
Part history, part archaeology, part geography, part biology and part sociology it is the work of a real polymath. It's incredibly readable too, beginning with a terrific fantasy of how things might have been. I didn't agree with all of it but it's still the best history book I've read this year. You may guess that I felt stongly about this book.

读后感
1.假装公正客观，自编了一套毫无科学性的所谓评分体系。 2.偷换概念。好家伙，从埃及、巴比伦到波斯，他把地球上几乎所有的辉煌文明都纳入西方范畴，只为在与东方中国的评分中获得几乎全胜的战绩。又是一个中国pk全世界的故事。 3.掩耳盗铃。可惜与中华文明比拼强大的生命力，...
评分在《西方将主宰多久》一书中，斯坦福大学教授伊恩•莫里斯运用贾雷德•戴蒙德在《枪炮，病菌与钢铁》用的类似的生物学和社会学方法来解答斯宾格勒提出的问题，西方为什么会没落，东方为什么开始超越西方。他得出的结论和戴蒙德的结论类似，都是地理因素最重要。 伊恩•莫...
评分《西方将主宰多久（Why the West rule-for now）》读后感 这是本很有趣的书，尽管其学术思想并不怎么专业，但在历史比较领域，也算是一枝奇葩。我从3月25日开始读这本书，到3月30日完成全书的3/4，中间因为陪大哥游玩及随之而来的清明假期而基本没有看，到今天一口气看完了，也...
评分考虑了一下，觉得还是要吐个槽 书本身挺有趣，但中信组织的翻译未免太随意。译者缺乏常识，也不肯花费必要的心力，能力和态度都有问题 有些错误可以忽略，自动脑补一下也就过去了；有些则叫人迷惑，影响阅读 把红山文化女神像眼里的Jade译成翡翠（还是淡蓝色的，黑人问号脸...
评分西方将主宰多久 英国东印度公司18世纪末每年从中国运往伦敦的茶值2300万英镑。 天平天国是世界上最后一场传统战争。 1854年，日本被作为中美间的加煤的中转站。 为什么西方有马克沁机枪，而其他地方没有？ 对于东西方的差别，长期注定理论是其中之一，马克思的版本最为重要，也...
用户评价
地理论
评分是一本非常客观的历史书，从外国人眼里看整个中国的衰落。其实一切不是偶然，必然发生的，总在等待一个契机然后推波助澜酿成如此的局面。喜欢看故事的，那此书并不适合你。但如果你想看一个多角度历史的，请来看看此书。
评分地理论
评分写得细腻、翔实，分析有理有据。只有时间说明问题，其它一律不堪一击。想起去年写过的一句话：“一切惺惺作态，都敌不过时间。” 行为是心理的掩饰或者真实，心理是行为的根源。
评分很难在一本书上能够同时看到对东西方历史如此详尽的分析，这本书在一定程度上做到了，可能观点并不算很新颖，在我看来好像是杂陈了各家的观点一样，不过分析和史实的介绍还是很有独到之处
