虽然是被逼着读的,可是相当的不错。
评分买下来了
评分文明史
评分81. 6星书。不可思议的文笔,分明可以感受到作者价值观的主旋律。在写美俄关系时小心翼翼尽量做到客观,收敛情绪。写到国民党共产党的时候,对communism的不喜欢,一不小心泄露无遗。功利来说~虽然没有帮上我的GMAT的语法~~但很显然阅读和逻辑加工不少。。。第一本英文名著,竟然是历史 =,=||||
评分A Global History: From Prehistory to the 21st Century (7th edition ed.) by L. S. Stavrianos.: Prentice Hall. | 谢谢于仁颇黎
From the Author to the Reader
Each age writes its own history. Not because the earlier history is wrong, but because each age faces new problems, asks new questions, and seeks new answers. This precept is self-evident today when the tempo of change is increasing exponentially, creating a correspondingly urgent need for new history posing new questions and offering new answers.
Our own generation, for example, was brought up on West-oriented history, and naturally so, in a West-dominated world. The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were an era of Western hegemony in politics, in economics, and in culture. But the two World Wars and the ensuing colonial revolutions quickly ended that hegemony, as evidenced by the disappearance of the great European empires from the maps of the world. The names and the colors on the maps changed radically, reflecting the new world that had emerged by the mid-twentieth century.
Slowly and reluctantly we recognized that our traditional West-oriented history was irrelevant and misleading in this world. A new global perspective was needed to make sense of the altered circumstances. The transition from the old to the new was achieved, albeit with much soul searching and acrimony. By the 1960s the reality of the shift was evident in the emergence of the World History Association, in the appearance of the Journal of World History, and in the publication of the first edition of this text.
This brings us back to our original question: Why publish a new edition for the twentieth-first century, only a few decades after the first edition? The answer is the same as the answer given to justify the first edition: a new world requires a correspondingly new historical approach. The postcolonial world of the 1960s necessitated a new global history. Today the equally new world of the 1990s, and of the twentieth-first century, requires an equally new historical approach. The new world of the 1960s was in large part the product of the colonial revolutions. The new world of the 1990s , as Pope Pius VI noted, is the product of the “magic influence of science and technology”. The pervasiveness of this influence is evident in the “gigantic problems” it has created in all aspects of our lives. For example, students of the late twentieth century doubtless remember their daily prostration under their wooden desks, probably wondering what protection those flimsy structures could offer against nuclear bombs.
The generation of students had to face up to not only new dangers to human life, but also to unprecedented peril to the mother Earth which had given birth to that life. Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau has warmed: Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the twentieth century than in all previous human history. Likewise the environmental organization Worldwatch Institute concluded in 1989: By the end of the next decade the die will pretty well be cast. As the world enters the twentieth-first century, the community of nations either will have rallied and turned back the threatening trends, or environmental deterioration and social disintegration will be feeding on each other.
前两天终于翻完了1999年上海社会科学出版社出版的《全球通史》,上下两册,《1500年以前的世界》和《1500年以后的世界》,从人之初到冷战、核威胁,一千四百九十页历史风云,在我手中断断续续上演了六年半。10月1号去圆明园看残破的西洋楼和睡莲,回来的路上在蓝旗营下车,到...
评分Google有个地图功能,让人可以从外太空例如在月球上的方向,来观看我们这个蔚蓝的星球。并且可以如同坐在从外太空高速飞回或飞走的宇宙飞船上一般,快速地缩小或是拉大。有时候会陶醉于这种美,从外太空看见的美:世界变得如此之小视野变得如此广阔。 看这本书,也宛如通过...
评分英国当代历史学家杰弗里·巴勒克拉夫(Geoffrey Barraclough)对美国当代历史学家斯塔夫里阿诺斯所著《全球通史》的评价是:“近年来,在用全球观点或包含全球内容重新进行世界史写作的尝试中,最有推动作用的那些著作恰恰是由历史学家个人单独完成的,其中以斯塔夫里阿诺斯的《...
评分“读历史先读通史”是个合理且普遍的观念,这本书名宏大的著作很容易让人产生一本书打通全世界经脉的幻觉,将之列为学习世界史的首选,然而若真想对世界历史有一个符合现代思维“贯通”的理解,这本外行首推的书可能并非首选。 实际上,《全球通史》的价值并不在于贯通了历史...
评分斯塔夫里阿诺斯的《全球通史》本是极好的,我至今忘不了高中时候从体育老师手中接过这本书读完后的兴奋感,以至于日后面试鄙校历史系新生学妹时,见其不无炫耀的介绍自己高中时候就读过这本书的得意神态,有种似曾相似感。在此之前只有黄仁宇,在此之后仅有皮雷纳、斯宾格勒在...
