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.

丝绸之路,对于中国人来讲并不陌生。西汉张骞两次出使西域,最终建立了东方连通中亚的商道,完成了当时几乎全部意义上的所谓文明世界的连接。“丝绸之路”这个概念,则是德国人李希霍芬在1877年出版的《中国》之中首次提出的。之所以以“丝绸”来命名这条(或者这几条)商道,...
评分 评分这本书的优点在于方法论上面上面,不再限于国别而是使用了每个时期的主体文明潮流作为一种主题去研究,所以虽然具体史料细节上并没有特别亮眼惊人的地方,但是作为入门级历史读物在整体思路上是比较优秀的。 人类文明史的革新也可以被看做是文明组织形式的方法论的革新,率先...
