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. The astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city. Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering. 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.
以史为镜,一般理解是反射镜,通过先人、别人,照见(己之)兴衰和更替。不过理解成折射镜(望远镜),或许更解释得通。因为历史并不总是方便读者比对,越是陌生的反而越能够拓展认知和行动的边界。倒是研究者或读者,总不免用自己有限的经验去解读他人的历史,造成歪曲甚至矮...
評分空旷疆域之谜/探险家的疾病早在殖民者抵达前就已毁灭原住民 ——玛丽·德·安布罗西奥 早期欧洲探险家们曾为美洲的富饶而疯狂。原始森林覆盖陆地,美洲赤鹿等鹿儿众多,成群结队的野牛如奔雷般穿过平原,他们将报告发回西班牙、葡萄牙与英格兰。 鱼儿挤满了河流,肥美多汁的贻...
評分《1491:前哥伦布时代美洲启示录》,查尔斯·曼恩。这本厚厚的书封面设计漂亮,内容简介让我很有阅读的欲望,于是,迫不及待地下单。然而,到手后开读,对作者的写作方式和译者的翻译质量相当失望,作者毕竟是记者不是学者,那种新闻报道的笔法东拉西扯,信息量有余,干货不足...
評分 評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...
