Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
by Jared Diamond
《枪炮、病菌与钢铁：人类社会的命运》
贾雷德·戴蒙德
在这本 “艺术性强、信息量大、令人愉悦”（威廉·麦克尼尔，《纽约书评》）的书中，贾雷德·戴蒙德令人信服地论证了地理和环境因素塑造了现代世界。在食物生产方面先行一步的社会超越了狩猎-采集阶段，然后发展了宗教——以及令人讨厌的病菌和强大的战争武器——并在海上和陆地上冒险，征服和摧毁了识字前的文化。《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》是我们了解人类社会的一大进步，它记录了现代世界的形成过程，并令人震惊地推翻了以种族为基础的人类历史理论。
In this “artful, informative, and delightful” (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion –as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war –and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California’s Gold Medal.
