内容简介

Review

“I have long been a fan of David Christian. In Origin Story, he elegantly weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines into a single, accessible historical narrative.”

―Bill Gates

“In Origin Story, David Christian has found a spectacular way to use history to put order in the entire set of our knowledge about the world. This is a wonderful achievement.”

―Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time

“A remarkable book that puts us self-important humans in our proper place in the cosmos, yet also explains why the story of human culture and knowledge — what Christian calls collective learning — matters for understanding our present world and shaping its future.”―Merry Wiesner-Hanks, President of the World History Association

“David Christian is not one for half measures. Origin Story is a majestic distillation of our current understanding of the birth and development of the universe, of the solar system, of the oceans, of mountains and minerals, of all life on earth and of the driving dynamics of human culture and achievement. All of this in just over 300 pages of captivating prose that weaves together innumerable insights from dozens of disciplines in the sciences, arts and humanities. With fascinating ideas on every page and the page turning energy of a good thriller, this is a landmark work that comes at a time when it has never been more important for humanity as a whole to have a clearer, more informed understanding of our place on earth and of the earth’s place in the cosmos.”―Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element

  To do anything requires energy. To specify what is done requires information.

  整本书算是对目前对宇宙和人类历史知识的一个较好的汇总，但是新知识的含量不足。

• 逆铭睡眼惺忪地的评论
  

  内容大都在其他地方见到过。比较有意思的是作者把自然历史和生物乃至人类历史都放在能量与熵的框架里考虑

• xusparrow的评论
  

  中规中矩，如果了解大历史的话就没有耳目一新的感觉，但是大历史观我很认可，3.5

  Thx gates recommend .The efficiency（is not speed），increasing efficiencies in the use of energy and materials will eventually reduce total energy consumption and recycling of existing materials will reduce comsumption of new minerals and resources almost to zero. To do anyting requires energy but to specify what is done requires information.

  Fascinating journey from the beginning of the universe towards the future world of human society.

  因为比尔盖茨推荐，2019年读书计划第一步。有些失望，像是高中科普读物。没有什么太大意思，迅速翻翻看看哪些感兴趣的章节读读就好
