Leften Stavros Stavrianos (1913 – March 23, 2004) was a Greek-Canadian historian. His most influential books are considered to be A Global History: From Prehistory to the 21st Century and The Balkans since 1453. He was one of the very first historians to challenge Orientalist views of the Ottoman Empire.
Stavrianos was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1913. He received a B.A. in history from the University of British Columbia, and a M.A. and Ph.D. from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Stavrianos joined the faculty of Queens University in Kingston, Ontario and Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. He then became a professor at Northwestern University in 1946. After retiring from Northwestern in 1973, Stavrianos joined the University of California, San Diego Department of History until 1992.
Designed for courses in World History and World Civilization, this best-selling, classic exploration of world history takes an interdisciplinary global (rather than a regional or national) approach–tracing those major forces, movements, and events that have had a world-wide impact. It stresses connections between the past, present and future, emphasizing the question “What does it mean for us today?” The Seventh Edition reevaluates the course of human history with an eye toward the millennium, reflecting in its coverage the end of the cold war and the dawning possibilities for a new type of global history.

前两天终于翻完了1999年上海社会科学出版社出版的《全球通史》,上下两册,《1500年以前的世界》和《1500年以后的世界》,从人之初到冷战、核威胁,一千四百九十页历史风云,在我手中断断续续上演了六年半。10月1号去圆明园看残破的西洋楼和睡莲,回来的路上在蓝旗营下车,到...
评分我们所学习过的历史,都很奇怪,注重细节,例如时间、地点、主要人物等,却没有什么连贯性。历史在我们眼里,跟“洋片”差不多,是割断的、静态的、前后没有关联的。而这部《全球通史》,却展示了我们似乎学习过,却从未真正明白过的历史,即这些片段串成的序列,一部本来完整...

评分“读历史先读通史”是个合理且普遍的观念,这本书名宏大的著作很容易让人产生一本书打通全世界经脉的幻觉,将之列为学习世界史的首选,然而若真想对世界历史有一个符合现代思维“贯通”的理解,这本外行首推的书可能并非首选。 实际上,《全球通史》的价值并不在于贯通了历史,...

乱哄哄的世界~
评分全球史观,传统的以西方为导向的历史观已不合时宜,且具有误导性。人类需要明智,即在经济(满足基本需求、效率)与环境(个人、社会、生态)中作选择。
评分去自然历史博物馆之前看看这书会更有趣
评分通史的话入门还成,但是对于想深入研究的人来说其实是浪费时间的
评分无论是内容还是语言都非常棒!
