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.

评分居然找不到他的「The New Silk Roads」只好在這兒評價。一句話,這本「剪報」是作者從歷史學家轉型KOL的扛鼎之作。
评分大西北!敦煌。。。想要去看看你
评分全是有个全新的视角的,主线还是丝绸之路,其实说的并不是丝绸,富含深意
评分读到三分之一 作者是有功底的人。作为牛津拜占庭考古的头 他写的东西十分难得得在我比较熟悉的两个领域(我学过一学期古印度考古和汉至唐代考古)没有陌生感和疏离感 而后者是绝大多数(潜意识里以)西方(为中心)的学者都会有的共性。也许这正是这本书的精神内核:强调亚洲和中亚的历史重要性
可以肯定的说豆瓣关于本书的评价过高,翻看一些评论,犹如小学生读作观后感,更像是为了完成某种任务而写。(大致就是刷书评的水军) 回到本书 首先作者想要完成一个非常宏大的全球发展史的大格局,但是他没有这个能力,无论是文字构造还是历史事件的描述,都是泛泛而谈,引用...
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...
评分“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...

评分基督教作为世界三大宗教之一,他的诞生与发展,本身就是带有某种传奇意味的,在读这本书前,我对于基督教的认识还相对粗浅,这本丝绸之路给我打开了一扇新的了解基督教的大门。 不同于任继愈主编的那本《基督教史》,这本丝绸之路中对于基督教的阐释是一种相对比较泛化的解读,...
