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.

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...

做书评不要去做摘抄,而是阅读后,此书对自己的触发通过文字表达出来,以便记录自身的思考,便是好的消化方式。 阅读此书后,最大的感概是在浩瀚渺茫的宇宙当中,世界上的每一个人即便做出再轰动的事情,也不过是沧海一粟。老毛对于中国来讲,贡献和其重大,但站在全球一万年的...

高中初见时便生硬地从干瘪的钱包里掏钱买了不菲的中文盗版。 这际遇颇有几分预先写定的味道,冥冥之中... 终于在大学毕业之前拥有并粗读了其英文原版,虽然是影印版。 虽然作者装的很impartial, 受西方正统教育出来,观点时不时还是打着自我为中心,自我文化为中心的烙印。当然,本书对全球历史构架及时间划分很值得学习借鉴。

买了没有认真读的一套书,值得好好读一遍
