Until very recently, historians have looked at the past with the tools of the nineteenth century. But globalization has fundamentally altered our ways of knowing, and it is no longer possible to study nations in isolation or to understand world history as emanating from the West. This book reveals why the discipline of global history has emerged as the most dynamic and innovati...(展开全部)

Global and world history address the deep structural changes that have shaped human experience. Many are material, related to environmental and climatic alteration, to the domestication of livestock and development of agriculture, to technology, to disease, and to variations in human immunity, reproduction, and physiology. Others are social and cultural, touching upon issues o...(展开全部)

在本书中，柯娇燕教授对宏观世界史的编纂理念与实践进行了学术回顾与梳理。从西方的学术发展轨迹来说，对普世历史的思考与实践，经历了从《旧约圣经》中《创世记》对人类起源的宏大叙述，史密斯等人主张的文化传播论，马克思的辩证唯物主义普世历史理论，到今天麦克尼尔、沃勒斯坦、贡德•弗兰克等人对全球史的探索与建构。柯娇燕教授将这一发展过程概括成四大范式，即分流、合流、传染、体系。以此为基础，她进一步评述了当今全球史研究中的不同流派及可能的发展方向。全球史作为新兴的史学流派或分支学科，至今仍处于初步发展阶段，因此也存在着较大争议与分歧，各种研究范式正在形成之中，在这种情况下，柯娇燕教授从学术回顾入手，从宏观世界史的学术传统来理解什么是全球史，具有启迪意义。这从另一个方面也告诉我们，全球史并不是西方史学家们在当今全球化背景下的突发奇想，而是有其学术的历史与根基。

Taking a radically new approach to the history of abstract painting, Pepe Karmel applies a scholarly yet fresh vision to reconsider the history of abstraction from a global perspective and to demonstrate that abstraction is embedded in the real world. Moving beyond the orthodox canonical terrain of abstract art, he surveys artists from across the globe, examining their work fro...(展开全部)

With the rise of projects to create global histories and art histories, the Mongol Empire is now widely taken as a fundamental watershed. In the later thirteenth century, the Mongol states reconfigured the basic zones of Eurasian trade and contact. For those they conquered, and for those who later overthrew them, new histories and narratives were needed to account for the Mongo...(展开全部)
