The World interweaves two stories–of our interactions with nature and with each other. The environment-centered story is about humans distancing themselves from the rest of nature and searching for a relationship that strikes a balance between constructive and destructive exploitation. The culture-centered story is of how human cultures have become mutually influential and yet mutually differentiating. Both stories have been going on for thousands of years. We do not know whether they will end in triumph or disaster.

There is no prospect of covering all of world history in one book. Rather, the fabric of this book is woven from selected strands. Readers will see these at every turn, twisted together into yarn, stretched into stories. Human-focused historical ecology–the environmental theme–will drive readers back, again and again, to the same concepts: sustenance, shelter, disease, energy, technology, art. (The last is a vital category for historians, not only because it is part of our interface with the rest of the world, but also because it forms a record of how we see reality and of how the way we see it changes.) In the global story of human interactions–the cultural theme–we return constantly to the ways people make contact with each another: migration, trade, war, imperialism, pilgrimage, gift exchange, diplomacy, travel–and to their social frameworks: the economic and political arenas, the human groups and groupings, the states and civilizations, the sexes and generations, the classes and clusters of identity.

虽然是我朋友编辑的,还是要说,这本集体翻译的书质量不过关。很多译文时态搞错、有些基本史实没有遵循通行译法。译者如果能够把初稿打印出来,大声朗读一遍,就能纠正很多错误。这么一本大部头的好书,如此匆匆而就,实在可惜。 说它是好书,主要原因是提供了很多照片、原始...

决定看这本书是因为之前看过作者的另一本书——《改变世界的观念》。之前看了《改变世界的观念》,就很佩服作者一些独到的观点,很受启发,可惜那只是一本简明的观念史,介绍每个观念的篇幅都很短,读得很不过瘾。前段时间,看到作者的这本书,翻了一下看到里面穿插了一...
