Charles C. Mann is the author of 1493, a New York Times best-seller, and 1491, which won the U.S. National Academy of Sciences' Keck award for the best book of the year. A correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, Science, and Wired, he has covered the intersection of science, technology, and commerce for many newspapers and magazines here and abroad, including National Geographic, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and the Washington Post. In addition to 1491 and 1493, he is the co-author of five other books, one of which is a young person's version of 1491 called Before Columbus. His website is www.charlesmann.org.
In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.
Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them.

Indeed, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.
New World Symphon Charles C. Mann is a journalist and his new book, while not without flaws, is a journalistic masterpiece: lively, engaging, and full of the latest information about the peoples who lived in the Americas before Columbus joined the two side...

评分这本书还是蛮有趣,恰似一次穿越时空的美洲大陆之旅。 显然我自己的认知无法对作者波澜壮阔的铺陈做很好的判断和总结。 对美洲文化的解释,也许是身处其外,故而不会对其不管是拔高或贬低(如书里面引的各家观点)美洲先民文明有太多的情绪,更多的是对其展现的一种在各种自然...
评分通常我们对印第安人的印象,异国情调的浪漫多于现实:大峡谷中翱翔的雄鹰俯视下,头上戴满羽毛的印第安酋长骑马奔驰而过;这是一种离我们生活的世界远之又远的生活。而对欧洲人来说印第安人“高贵的野蛮人”这一印象也往往挥之不去;蒙田本人就承认是欧洲人“利用印第安人的无...
