Jürgen Osterhammel is a distinguished scholar of the history of modern China and professor of modern and contemporary history at the University of Konstanz. He is the 2010 recipient of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, Germany's most prestigious academic prize. His books in English include "Globalization: A Short History" (Princeton) and "Colonialism".
A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more.
This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.
过去的读书笔记,都是先把经典的语句摘录出来,看完以后用自己的理解,结合主要内容,把这些经典语句穿起来。这样即是摘要,也是导读,也便于查询。 在读19世纪史的过程中,这个方法派不上用场了。三大本1800多页的内容中,涉及古今中外、不同学科,作者用一副百科全书式的框架...
评分9月28日,我把《世界的演变:19世纪史》最后的清样交给了出版部的同事,历时五年,这本书终于可以和广大中国读者见面了。说实话,当时的感觉有些复杂,既有终于可以松一口气的轻松感,又有某种忐忑,觉得如此重要的著作,其实值得进一步推敲、打磨。策划、编辑这本大部头,对我...
评分没买。在书店翻了翻。感觉作者知识面确实很广,可以说重要问题面面俱到且言简意赅。但正因为如此,此书各章都可以由学者专门研究而成为专门史。实际上,这样的工作早就有人在做了。比如民族国家、能源问题等等,都有专书。因此本书似乎是集大成但点到为止的著作,而不像麦克尼...
评分中国的历史编纂学传统乃是全世界最伟大的传统之一。其历史之悠久,唯有始于希腊的欧洲历史编纂学方能与之媲美。这一传统还包括,中国很早便着手就当时已知的世界进行历史写作。在1500年左右开始的地理大发现时代之前,这个“世界”在欧洲人眼中当然也还不是那个圆圆的地球。它...
