Rate this book
吴军博士从对人类文明产生了重大影响却在过去被忽略的历史故事里,选择了有意思的几十个片段特写,以人文和科技、经济结合的视角,有机地展现了一幅人类文明发展的宏大画卷。

《文明之光 》系列大致按照从地球诞生到近现代的顺序讲述了人类文明进程的各个阶段,每个章节相对独立,全景式地展现了人类文明发展历程中的多样性。

《文明之光》系列第二册讲述了从近代科学兴起,到工业革命时代,以及原子能应用这一历史阶段,共八个专题。

看完这个系列,读者朋友可以体会到,在漫长的历史长河中,人类社会虽然不断遇到一些困难和问题,但人类总是会有办法解决它们,我们要成为一个“理性乐观派”;其次是能够认识到普通人对文明发展的贡献,每个人都可以成为贡献者。
