Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.

评分http://headsalon.org/archives/1530.html 不知何故,对Jared Diamond那本雄心勃勃的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》(Guns, Germs, and Steel)一直不抱多大期望,或许是我对畅销书有些偏见吧,但这次显然错了,读过前几章,已让我惊叹:这正是多年来我所期待的那种历史研究啊。 年轻...
评分0. 发现书看一半时往往更愿意写评论。常常看完了之后当初的兴奋也没了。 所以,这本砖头般厚实的书今天刚刚K完四分之一,因为兴奋莫名,所以先来说几句。要是看完了还有要讲的,再来添吧。。。 这本书已经流行了好一阵子了,可是这个书名老是让我想起那个叫“Gun & Roses” ...
评分 评分启蒙书
评分一年前的这个时候,每天做完实验在地铁上读的书。
评分终于看完了一遍,然后,然后,觉得得快点看第二遍,然后做笔记。这样的历史书才是我喜欢的,不是事实的堆砌,更多是背后的逻辑,所谓的历史科学。呀,我又想起了基地的心理史学^_^
评分几个月的时间慢慢读完,刷新了世界观(Literally). 这就是最好的科普书,有理论,有证据,但是写作风格平易近人,没有科学基础的人看起来也不会吃力。因为这本书的研究实在太过根本,即使明白了缺陷,人类社会能摆脱几千几百万年的环境历史积累起来的枷锁吗?
