高中初見時便生硬地從乾癟的錢包裏掏錢買瞭不菲的中文盜版。 這際遇頗有幾分預先寫定的味道,冥冥之中... 終於在大學畢業之前擁有並粗讀瞭其英文原版,雖然是影印版。 雖然作者裝的很impartial, 受西方正統教育齣來,觀點時不時還是打著自我為中心,自我文化為中心的烙印。當然,本書對全球曆史構架及時間劃分很值得學習藉鑒。
評分終於讀完瞭……

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.
又看到有人讨论中国和世界的历史了,想起这本书, 我真心觉得,世界史这样精彩的小说也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也只有上帝能写的出来了。 也...
評分前两天终于翻完了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...
評分 評分“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...
評分上海社会科学出版社的译本比北京大学的第七版好了千万倍~真的 我在网上看了这本书,看得心潮澎湃,就去买回尸体书,北大版的,尤其是上册,真是要把我看哭了,错,欲哭无泪。翻译得枯燥无味,长句翻译断句完全不按照中国人的习惯~本来娓娓道来的书立刻了无生趣,我88块大洋啊...
