The Silk Roads pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.

評分這可能是我這個半路齣傢的文科生第一本讀完的全球史。。。
評分好像我看的是少兒版?!
評分三十年河東,三十年河西。 世界上哪一個國傢沒有悠久的曆史,沒有璀璨的文明?我們隻熟悉其中一些,覺得這幾個特彆有文化,無非是因為它們現在經濟搞得好、文化輸齣多而已。
“丝绸之路”是指起始于古代中国,连接亚洲、非洲和欧洲的古代陆上商业贸易路线。“丝绸之路”有广义和狭义之分。广义上的“丝绸之路”分为陆上丝绸之路和海上丝绸之路;狭义上的丝绸之路一般指陆上丝绸之路。 陆上丝绸之路起源于汉武帝派张骞出使西域,形成其基本干道。它以...
評分印度河流域的哈拉帕和摩亨佐·达罗;美索不达米亚的尼尼微、乌鲁克和阿卡德;乌浒河上的巴克特里亚;“世界女王”梅尔夫;“地球的新郎”赖伊;“沙漠威尼斯”佩特拉;“和平之城”麦地那·阿萨拉姆(据传此城在公元8世纪有近一亿人口 ).......这些曾屹立在世界中心的奇迹之城...
評分16世纪之前的世界历史实际上是一部亚欧大陆的历史。从地理学上讲,亚欧大陆占有世界陆地的40%,囊括世界人口的90%,是面积最大、最重要的大陆板块。亚欧大陆也是人类最早、最先进的文明发源地,构成了世界历史的“中心地带”。与那些完全孤立或半孤立的文明不同,通过贸易、战...
評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。...
