花瞭我30多刀從英國郵寄到德州啊T T
評分此書十分自說自話且牽強。。。不過也不算白讀因為我又增長瞭一點姿勢!原來日語裏不但スーツ是外來語(蛤),連背広其實都是savile row的音譯喲。
評分說實話此書還是挺讓我失望的,主要原因是Ferguson本人是曆史學傢,卻總是愛寫這麼顯淺的東西。顯淺看的人雖多,但必定缺乏深度和廣度,無法體現世界和曆史的復雜性。這本書隨便看看還是好的,某些部分還算有養分,但整體來說應該像是我寫的作品的水平
評分如此淺薄之人,如此淺薄之書。基本上可以直接交給廢紙迴收站。可惜木材和紙張瞭。

尼爾·弗格森,英國最著名的曆史學傢之一。哈佛大學曆史係教授、牛津大學高級研究員,同時也是斯坦福大學鬍佛研究所的高級研究員。他是極少數能橫跨學術界、金融界和媒體的專傢之一。著有《貨幣崛起》等多部暢銷書,同時還為多傢報紙和雜誌撰稿。此外,他還製作瞭四部非常成功的電視紀錄片:《帝國》、《美國巨人》、《世界戰爭》,以及最近的《貨幣崛起》。2004年被《時代》周刊評為“影響世界的100人”之一。
If in the year 1411 you had been able to circumnavigate the globe, you would have been most impressed by the dazzling civilizations of the Orient. The Forbidden City was under construction in Ming Beijing; in the Near East, the Ottomans were closing in on Constantinople. By contrast, England would have struck you as a miserable backwater ravaged by plague, bad sanitation and incessant war. The other quarrelsome kingdoms of Western Europe – Aragon, Castile, France, Portugal and Scotland – would have seemed little better. As for fifteenth-century North America, it was an anarchic wilderness compared with the realms of the Aztecs and Incas. The idea that the West would come to dominate the Rest for most of the next half millennium would have struck you as wildly fanciful. And yet it happened. What was it about the civilization of Western Europe that allowed it to trump the outwardly superior empires of the Orient? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, was that the West developed six “killer applications” that the Rest lacked: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic. The key question today is whether or not the West has lost its monopoly on these six things. If so, Ferguson warns, we may be living through the end of Western ascendancy. Civilization takes readers on their own extraordinary journey around the world – from the Grand Canal at Nanjing to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul; from Machu Picchu in the Andes to Shark Island, Namibia; from the proud towers of Prague to the secret churches of Wenzhou. It is the story of sailboats, missiles, land deeds, vaccines, blue jeans and Chinese Bibles. It is the defining narrative of modern world history.
陈丹青口中美国人长着张“不被欺负的脸”,跟涵怡伉俪聊天时我亦做过类似表述。不过我说的是这的孩子眼神透亮坚定,带着一股“我肯定能行”,“谁也别想欺负我”的劲头。能不能行未必只取决于劲头。谦卑隐忍未必一定不行。我们的文化往往体现出的是反证。十年前在东亚四方课堂...
評分英国著名哲学家罗素曾通过其名著《西方的智慧》向世人展示了一幅哲学思想层面的西方史全景图,可是却遭人质疑:全书没有给东方的智慧留一席之地,意即该书无处不在充斥着对西方文化的夸耀和赞叹。在罗素看来,东西方两个世界是在互相隔绝的情况下各自发展的,因此,就西方思想...
評分六个杀手锏,六个主题,呈现出文明的决定因素,决定着未来文明所属。 1:竞争:集权的中国与竞争的欧洲 2:科学:欧洲科学如何超越阿拉伯世界 3:财产权:新世界与自由 4:医学:医学如何保障欧洲崛起与扩张 5:消费:消费社会的诞生 6:新教伦理:享受时光与中国的耶路撒冷 ...
評分西方文明如此普遍,以至于我们忘记了他们是“西方”文明,例如全球大学机制都向西方靠拢,医疗科学组织也如此,如今世上大部分人接受了自牛顿、达尔文到爱因斯坦的西方科学, 生病时也主要寻求西医的帮助,很少社会抵御西方营销和消费模式的侵入以及西方生活方式。越来越多...
