David Christian is a professor of world history at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and co-founder, with Bill Gates, of the Big History Project. In 1989, Christian began teaching the first course on big history, an interdisciplinary field that examines history starting with the Big Bang, and his work came to the attention of Bill Gates through a video course produced by The Teaching Company. In 2014, Gates and Christian were the subjects of the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. He is the author of Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History, which won the World History Association book prize (2004), and is writing a history of Central Asia. He is also the author of Living Water: Vodka and Russian Society on the Eve of Emancipation and (with R. E. F. Smith) Bread and Salt: A Social and Economic History of Food and Drink in Russia. He has spoken about big history at the TED Conference, the World Economic Forum, and on the Comedy Central program The Colbert Report.
A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and today s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journey from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern era a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World. A compact, easy-to-read overview of world history, ideal for curriculum development, classroom preparation, and student review.

評分《哈佛极简中国史》,以西方人的角度为我们理清了中国的历史,它跳出了中国人的条条框框,用极简的语言展现出中国这个古老国度的历史演变。而佛教在本书中更是占有“独特”的位置,每一时代都会提到它。 作者阿尔伯特•克雷格,哈佛燕京学社社长,专研日本、东亚历史,我们熟...

評分有时我会想,原始人和现代人,到底哪个过得更快乐?在下雨天打不到车的时候、被动辄几十层的大楼包围感觉喘不上气的时候、被晚高峰的车流绝望地堵在路当中的时候、想到明天又要上班的时候,这个问题就静悄悄地从大脑的某个角落钻出来,不怀好意地扩大、伸展,直至满脑子都是它...
