對人類曆史的理解又多瞭一個維度
評分History has its victors and victims, of course, and Diamond's account of how those victims became victims is not inviting to both sides. On the side of victors, he underrates their cultural autonomy,and on the side of victims, he offers them an inevitable and miserable destiny.
評分終於看完瞭一遍,然後,然後,覺得得快點看第二遍,然後做筆記。這樣的曆史書纔是我喜歡的,不是事實的堆砌,更多是背後的邏輯,所謂的曆史科學。呀,我又想起瞭基地的心理史學^_^

評分幾個月的時間慢慢讀完,刷新瞭世界觀(Literally). 這就是最好的科普書,有理論,有證據,但是寫作風格平易近人,沒有科學基礎的人看起來也不會吃力。因為這本書的研究實在太過根本,即使明白瞭缺陷,人類社會能擺脫幾韆幾百萬年的環境曆史積纍起來的枷鎖嗎?

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.
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http://headsalon.org/archives/1530.html 不知何故,对Jared Diamond那本雄心勃勃的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》(Guns, Germs, and Steel)一直不抱多大期望,或许是我对畅销书有些偏见吧,但这次显然错了,读过前几章,已让我惊叹:这正是多年来我所期待的那种历史研究啊。 年轻...
評分作为后人,我们总是免不了要对发生过的历史作些“如果”的想象,特别是当这种历史对我们是带有屈辱色彩的历史。比如中国人就常想“如果戊戌变法成功了中国如何”,“没有文化大革命又如何”,同时也会有大量“为什么这样,为什么那样”的问题,如“为什么日本能维新成功,...
