The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east.
For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again.
A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.
我想,热衷于玩RPG游戏的玩家都有这样的经验,接到一个任务时需要携带合理而足够多的装备,除了预期的任务奖励外,我们还依赖于中途的补给和游戏贸易系统来提升角色的等级和属性。而没有贸易的游戏就如同没有交流的现实世界,了无生趣。而丝绸之路就是历史上的这样一条充满商机...

评分历史书一般都有一个清晰地脉络或者线索。一个事件或一个人物或沿着时间顺序扩展开来,我们看到的经典中便有纪传体,编年体,国别体,通史,断代史等等。而彼得.弗兰科潘写的这本沉甸甸的《丝绸之路》,很难严格用传统的体裁来定义,说它是一本全新的世界史确实一点不为过。...
评分the basic principle has remained the same: goods and ideas have flowed through the Silk Roads and, consequently, the desire to control them has shaped the course of history and the world of today.
评分听的
评分真的很大一本啊,这个出版社还出了两本类似拍版的作品,中文还没有翻译出来,都很不错。
