This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
这本书给我的观感,一言以蔽之,即为“标新立异”。作者结合了自己所涉猎过的许多方面,试图从一个全新的广阔的角度来解读人类史,但由于他的涉猎广而不精,以至于我不得不说,他几乎在任何一方面都做得不好。仅就几个我比较了解的领域而言,作为一个半外行,我仍然能够挑出他...
评分本书评仅针对第十九章内容。 小学时看过一个关于太阳演化的科普片,说是大约50亿年以后,太阳将演化为红巨星,体积膨胀并吞并数个行星,包括地球在内。 也就是说,地球终将灭亡。 后来学了物理,知道这事虽不是千真万确,但也八九不离十了。当然,50亿年是个过于漫长的时间,人...
评分人从哪里来?要到哪里去?这是古今中外哲学家们契而不舍思索的问题。从神创论到达尔文演化论,对第一个问题的解答似已尘埃落定,如今大部分人相信人从猴子演变而来,一小部分人仍坚信人是上帝(神)的独特创造。第二个问题的答案却随着人类社会几何速度的变化发展越发扑朔迷...
评分《人类简史》已经不算是一本新书了,我也早早就买下,但却读不下去,当时我根本就懒得谈这本书,因为写得非常一般。让我纳闷的是,这本书在坊间的评价极高,和我的观感大相径庭,当时也没太当回事,也许我水平高呢。直到前些日子,万维刚在他的专栏力捧这本书。万维刚是我的偶...
Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?//时隔近两年,读了Vintage版。相当适合用作英语阅读,作者的文笔很舒服,实属应该畅销的作品。而且总的来说还是非常有启示的。//2017-12-19在网易云听的中信版
