David Christian is a professor of world history at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and co-founder, with Bill Gates, of the Big History Project. In 1989, Christian began teaching the first course on big history, an interdisciplinary field that examines history starting with the Big Bang, and his work came to the attention of Bill Gates through a video course produced by The Teaching Company. In 2014, Gates and Christian were the subjects of the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. He is the author of Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History, which won the World History Association book prize (2004), and is writing a history of Central Asia. He is also the author of Living Water: Vodka and Russian Society on the Eve of Emancipation and (with R. E. F. Smith) Bread and Salt: A Social and Economic History of Food and Drink in Russia. He has spoken about big history at the TED Conference, the World Economic Forum, and on the Comedy Central program The Colbert Report.

读后感
从去年开始，我给学生布置了一个特殊的作业，名叫“东写西读计划”。这是一个利用网络平台，就某个话题，阅读相关资料，跟帖与讨论的作业。虽然这是历史课上的作业，但我设计的话题并非局限在历史学。迄今为止，我们讨论的话题涉及：由“日本首相安倍战后七十周年讲话”谈宽恕...
评分如何用最精炼的语言讲清有人类以来的历史，这个问题在艺术家眼里和画画无异：要画一棵树，最容易是简笔画，两根直线画出树干、一圈弧线代表叶子；也可以勾勒出树干的枝节曲折、树叶的形状光影；更精细的工笔画可以明察秋毫地刻画出树的质地和纹理。无论何种画法，树干、树叶的...
评分 评分（一） 王朝的兴替，是很多中国历史学者在研究中的一个默认的“标准模式”。不过，在作者看来，能够用一种深邃或者智慧，更加朴实或者“普世”的眼光，穿越历史的迷雾，在朝代更替的明线之下，看到连绵发展“暗线”似乎更加重要。 历史，有其内在的节律。在一声声万岁万岁山呼...

详见中文版，中信即将推出《极简人类史：从宇宙大爆炸到21世纪》
评分用特别的形式读了这本小书。确实是fleeting，用来粗略了解还行。

评分Christian教授07年出版，很薄，同样讲大历史导论，完全可以视作是他的《Maps of Time》的迷你版，非常适用于中学教材、或是对大历史导论有兴趣，却不知如何入手的入门书。教授虽不是第一个提出“大历史导论”的历史学家，但却是我（私自）认为将此理论诠释的非常精彩的人，而且他语言的运用通俗易懂，绝非难以下咽的学术调调，书名起的也好。08年留学的第一堂历史课就是他的大历史导论，将我领进历史学的世界，我今生是何等的荣幸。
