'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.
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).
乘地铁,车还没到,抬头看电视屏幕,瞥见一个穿白大褂的中年男人正在讲解割双眼皮的三种方式,对面的广告牌上,一个美丽的女人骄傲地展示着整容之后的五官,大眼睛,双眼皮,尖下巴,眼神迷离,一脸茫然。 我并不想对整容做道德评价,而是想还原一个事实:我们已经生活在一个...
评分如果说有一本书,不到五百页,没有一堆令人晕头转向的年份、人名、地名、称号,就能涵盖了人类如何崛起、影响现代生活甚巨的资本主义、一神教、自由人文主义、基因工程如何兴盛的人类历史重大脉络……那就是这本神奇的、同时摆放在“历史”和“畅销”分类里的「人类简史」。 ...
评分我常想,人类学的重要意义,大概就是提醒我们,更广大的世界,在我们的视线之外。我们习惯于偏向与我们的社会结构和文化结构相近的群体,而容易忽视了异世界的“确有价值”。因此当我听闻最近有一本“奇书”——《人类简史》,我便有了强烈的阅读兴趣。 以色列作家尤瓦尔•赫...
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intriguing&inspiring
评分Mind-blowing!!!
评分The Animal that Became a God.
评分中英文兩本一起讀的,從春節放假開始,到後來上班很忙一星期只能讀幾頁,於是前後花了差不多兩個月才讀完。信息量巨大,在作者淺顯的敘述和簡單的例子中終於重新認識和理解了中學歷史課上怎麼都聽不懂的人類的過去,也結合了自己親身經歷的這三十年來的種種,陷入無限的哲學思考和心理學反思中。
评分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
