Circumstances change, and past primacy is no guarantee of future primacy. 正所謂時勢造英雄,英雄亦適時罷。花瞭一個多月斷斷續續地讀完這本小書,用振聾發聵來形容毫不為過。
評分作者自己一句話總結:“History followed different courses for different peoples because of differences among peoples' environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves.” 這種通過把社會科學提齣的高低問題洋洋灑灑地平攤給自然科學的手段,不失為anti-Racism一法。配閤同獲普利策的另一哈佛人Wilson的《Sociobiology: The New Synthesis》風味更佳。
評分human history as a science
評分不多說,感受是高屋建瓴、醍醐灌頂
評分聽聞已久一直想讀的書。在印度的時候去二手書店找這本書,隱約記得書名和槍炮細菌有關,於是問店員,有無一本書叫做“Guns, rose and bacteria”?店員竟然當即指正說,是“Guns Germs and Steel”並馬上告知具體位置,極為專業。
Jared Diamond is Professor of Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Trained in physiology, he later took up the study of ecology and has made fundamental contributions to both disciplines. He is among the worlds leading zoologists and experts on birds. He has made many trips to the mountains of New Guinea to study their unique birds, rediscovered their long-lost bowerbird, and advises New Guinea governments on conservation. As well as writing technical articles in his many fields of interest, Jared Diamond writes regularly for popular science journals. He is married, and has twin sons.
This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.
这个学期比较空闲,思考、阅读兴趣比较倾向于宏大叙事,而且一直在变化,从最开始的为什么会有穷人和富人,到为什么穷国和富国同样能力的人收入不同,到为什么会有穷国和富国,再到为什么会突然出现工业革命并在英国,到人类社会如何发展的及差异的原因,最后到为什么会出现人...
評分 評分按语:第一,这篇读书笔记基本上包括了所有非此领域的外行需要知道的内容。第二,作者的观点和我个人的评论都混在一起,由于是一篇面向大众的读物,在此我不作标注。第三,豆瓣的书评好像不能加图,也不能在文字上加链接,有点影响阅读体验。 这本书想要回答的核心问题是借作者...
