内容大都在其他地方见到过。比较有意思的是作者把自然历史和生物乃至人类历史都放在能量与熵的框架里考虑
评分中规中矩,如果了解大历史的话就没有耳目一新的感觉,但是大历史观我很认可,3.5
评分因为比尔盖茨推荐,2019年读书计划第一步。有些失望,像是高中科普读物。没有什么太大意思,迅速翻翻看看哪些感兴趣的章节读读就好
评分本来也不可能在一本书里讲完从宇宙诞生到人类文明发展至今的全部内容还包括细节吧,主要读个框架体系和思维模式。Imagine what the world will be if only history classes in high school were taught this way...

Review
"I have long been a fan of David Christian. In Origin Story, he elegantly weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines into a single, accessible historical narrative."
―Bill Gates
"In Origin Story, David Christian has found a spectacular way to use history to put order in the entire set of our knowledge about the world. This is a wonderful achievement."
―Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time
"A remarkable book that puts us self-important humans in our proper place in the cosmos, yet also explains why the story of human culture and knowledge -- what Christian calls collective learning -- matters for understanding our present world and shaping its future."―Merry Wiesner-Hanks, President of the World History Association
"David Christian is not one for half measures. Origin Story is a majestic distillation of our current understanding of the birth and development of the universe, of the solar system, of the oceans, of mountains and minerals, of all life on earth and of the driving dynamics of human culture and achievement. All of this in just over 300 pages of captivating prose that weaves together innumerable insights from dozens of disciplines in the sciences, arts and humanities. With fascinating ideas on every page and the page turning energy of a good thriller, this is a landmark work that comes at a time when it has never been more important for humanity as a whole to have a clearer, more informed understanding of our place on earth and of the earth's place in the cosmos."―Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element
如果你开启前两章,被大卫精深的物理学讲解生动的天体宇宙演化故事所折服震撼, 你只是刚刚开始一种新思维的旅程。 和当代所有伟大的学者和思想家一样(比如,史蒂芬平克),他们有同样的出发点,和惊人相似的新常识。 出发点:人类来自哪里,走向何方?我们如何保持走在发展(...

评分先谈一下对本书的评价,在薄薄的一本300多页的书中浓缩了宇宙至今的历史,说万物大历史有些夸张,因为主体还是讲人类发展史,说是宇宙与人类发展史或许更恰当。首先不得不佩服作者的野心(亦或者说是大历史学者们的决心),欲要书写万物史,先不说结果是否尽如人意,单就这种勇...
