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.

評分有时我会想，原始人和现代人，到底哪个过得更快乐？在下雨天打不到车的时候、被动辄几十层的大楼包围感觉喘不上气的时候、被晚高峰的车流绝望地堵在路当中的时候、想到明天又要上班的时候，这个问题就静悄悄地从大脑的某个角落钻出来，不怀好意地扩大、伸展，直至满脑子都是它...
評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...

詳見中文版，中信即將推齣《極簡人類史：從宇宙大爆炸到21世紀》
评分Christian教授07年齣版，很薄，同樣講大曆史導論，完全可以視作是他的《Maps of Time》的迷你版，非常適用於中學教材、或是對大曆史導論有興趣，卻不知如何入手的入門書。教授雖不是第一個提齣“大曆史導論”的曆史學傢，但卻是我（私自）認為將此理論詮釋的非常精彩的人，而且他語言的運用通俗易懂，絕非難以下咽的學術調調，書名起的也好。08年留學的第一堂曆史課就是他的大曆史導論，將我領進曆史學的世界，我今生是何等的榮幸。
