是一本非常客观的历史书,从外国人眼里看整个中国的衰落。其实一切不是偶然,必然发生的,总在等待一个契机然后推波助澜酿成如此的局面。喜欢看故事的,那此书并不适合你。但如果你想看一个多角度历史的,请来看看此书。
评分地缘政治学。对中国期望很高,很好。

评分打过膨大剂,七百多页,其实篇幅缩减到一半就好。
评分地理论
Ian Morris teaches classics, history, and archaeology at Stanford University. Born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1960, he now lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. He has directed excavations in Greece and Italy, and has published 11 books and more than 80 articles. His most recent book, "Why the West Rules--For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future" (Profile Books, 2010), tells the stories of East and West across 15,000 years, from the final days of the Ice Age into the 22nd century, explaining why the West came to dominate the rest--and what will happen next. His next book, called "War! What is It Good For?" will look at war from prehuman times to our own, making two controversial claims--first, that war has helped humanity as well as harming it; and second, that war is now changing out of all recognition.

Like most of us living in the West I have have pondered this question from time to time. Why did the west come out in front, and will it last? Should we all start learning Chinese? And was it inevitable - were Westerners more open-minded, or harder working, or were we just super-lucky to have had the industrial revolution? Or was it simply the work of exceptional people such as Julius Caesar, James Watt or Columbus?
Morris looks at this from a different angle. He uses an index of social development to analyse how societies have risen and fallen (including energy capture, organisation/urbanisation, war-making and information technology). But most importantly he tells a brilliant story of global history. It's a big book, but it has to be, to cover its full scope.
Part history, part archaeology, part geography, part biology and part sociology it is the work of a real polymath. It's incredibly readable too, beginning with a terrific fantasy of how things might have been. I didn't agree with all of it but it's still the best history book I've read this year. You may guess that I felt stongly about this book.

评分 评分历史总能给人以展望未来的启示。然而不同的人看到不同的历史,由之而来的启示也各自不同。说实话,如果你想从历史中找到某些规律和教训来支持你对未来的规划,你几乎总能找到的。 西风压倒东风 成功者如果不清楚自己是怎么成功的,那他将很难复制这一成功;而失败者如果不清楚...
