In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.

Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. The astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city. Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering. Indeed, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.

得到听书: 首先,咱们说到美洲大陆在哥伦布到来之前,并不是一个荒凉原始、人烟稀少的地方。在15世纪时这里人口众多,远超同时期的欧洲,人口密度最大的地方,甚至是中国和印度的两倍。只是由于欧洲人的到来,带来了美洲人从未遭遇过、毫无免疫力的病毒,才使得美洲人口锐减。...

这是一本有关世界历史的绝世好书,文章并未以1492年哥伦布到达美洲后开始的欧洲侵略为开头来叙述整个西半球的历史。许多研究西方历史的学者都忽视甚至对哥伦布踏上美洲前的文化及文明成果不以为意。那些为黄金而痴迷的少数征服者们如何能够将数百万人创造的辉煌王国踩于脚下?...

好书一旦读起来,有非常强的连贯性。比如去年年初读了戴蒙德的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》,探讨影响人类文明发展程度的几个重要因素。今年年初读了他的另一本著作《崩溃》,讲的是导致人类文明崩溃的几个重要因素,是一本偏环保主义的书。 《崩溃》里面提到了一些已经消逝的美洲文明...

通常我们对印第安人的印象,异国情调的浪漫多于现实:大峡谷中翱翔的雄鹰俯视下,头上戴满羽毛的印第安酋长骑马奔驰而过;这是一种离我们生活的世界远之又远的生活。而对欧洲人来说印第安人“高贵的野蛮人”这一印象也往往挥之不去;蒙田本人就承认是欧洲人“利用印第安人的无...
