內容大都在其他地方見到過。比較有意思的是作者把自然曆史和生物乃至人類曆史都放在能量與熵的框架裏考慮
評分因為比爾蓋茨推薦,2019年讀書計劃第一步。有些失望,像是高中科普讀物。沒有什麼太大意思,迅速翻翻看看哪些感興趣的章節讀讀就好
評分Fascinating journey from the beginning of the universe towards the future world of human society.
評分To do anything requires energy. To specify what is done requires information.
評分Thx gates recommend .The efficiency(is not speed),increasing efficiencies in the use of energy and materials will eventually reduce total energy consumption and recycling of existing materials will reduce comsumption of new minerals and resources almost to zero. To do anyting requires energy but to specify what is done requires information.

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
一、自然之宏大、人类之尘埃(我们仅仅存在了不到100分钟) “大历史”这个词对我来说并不陌生,从最初黄仁宇的《万历十五年》中我就感到“大历史观”带来的力量。这种理念超脱了5000年来中华历史长河的繁琐细节,让人“知兴替”“明是非”“懂真理”。 本书作者提出的博物大历史...
評分最近,有种观点颇为流行,也令人担忧,那就是现阶段全球技术和经济的发展进入了一个瓶颈期,全球缺乏增量的机会,更看不到可能的爆发式的扩张式增长。所以,现阶段全球将进入一个存量博弈的时代,其结果就是各类利益主体间的你争我夺,大家都知道这是一种互相伤害,但是却无法...
評分我想作者已经尽可能的用通俗易懂的语言来向我们读者描述一系列万物起源的故事,然而对于我这样的理科废柴,这本书还是有很大的阅读难度的。 初次拿到这本书,给我第一印象是装帧精致,看起来很高大上。类似于是平常买的经典名著的装帧。于是乎,本人带着敬畏和一丝丝不确定翻开...
