具體描述
A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and today s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journey from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern era a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World. A compact, easy-to-read overview of world history, ideal for curriculum development, classroom preparation, and student review.
作者簡介
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.

評分马克吐温曾经说过，人类总是把自己视为宇宙的中心——或者至少是整个历史的中心。 而事实上，从大爆炸到现在，宇宙进化经历了大约138亿年的时间。科学家将宇宙分为8个层次，分别为物理进化、化学进化、天体演化、地质演变、生物进化、社会进化、人工自然进化。人类历史只是宇宙...
