'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).
文/曼佳 最近一直被人推荐《人类简史》这本书,一个70后的以色列历史学家写的风靡全球的著作。全书讲的是人类的故事,从历史又是从哲学的角度,讲述人从生物学的起源是什么样的,从宇宙的哪里来,要到未来的哪里去的故事,这样的书,是要很安静的环境和很安静的心才能好好读完...
评分以色列40岁的年轻学者的专著,博学而见解独到。我还从没有读过这样的研究人类历史的书,抛开了过去的所有讲述历史的概念与框架,从7亿年前起,“智人” 通过“认知革命”、“农业革命”、“工业革命”、“科学革命”而成为地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通过金钱、帝国、宗教建立...
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Mind-blowing!!!
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
评分A holistic view of evolution of human beings: looking at the past, we get to know where we came from; seeing the world around us now, we feel like we can make real changes; glimpse into the future, we ask ourselves where we are heading to. The answer is unknown, that is the most scary part.
评分intriguing&inspiring
