历史研究(下卷)

Rate this book
英国著名史学家阿诺德·汤因比的名著《历史研究》已为读者所熟悉,本书在内容和形式上与已出版的《历史研究》有所不同。它收入了支撑作者论点的大量历史例证,保留了更多细节。同时,作为第一部插图本,配合文字说明的各个插图(共计90幅彩图,400多幅黑白串文图)赋予了本书新的内容。图片不仅增强了文本的效果,而且能传递大量文字所无法充分表达的信息。汤因比在本书中将人类史作为一个整体来加以考察,以极其宏大的视角展现了诸多文明的成长、碰撞、融合的历程,在这一令人着迷的历史画卷中,作者以其博大精深的历史学知识和哲学睿智为读者带来了吸收知识和进行思考的快乐。

He additionally published Nationality and the War (1915), The Armenian Atrocities: The Murder of a Nation (1915), The German Terror in France: An Historical Record (1917), and Turkey, a Past and a Future (1917). He attended the peace conference of Paris in 1919 as a delegate.

From 1919 to 1924, Arnold J. Toynbee served as professor of modern Greek and Byzantine at King's college, London. From 1925, Oxford University Press published The Survey of International Affairs under the auspices of the royal institute of international affairs, and Toynbee, professor, oversaw the publication.
