[Weekend] Wang Jianshu: through the 'light of civilization,' the three 'Italian'Wang | Man today, 2015 Latest Nike Shoes trying to use hundreds of thousands of words, rather than millions of words depicting the history of human civilization, it takes courage. I say so, not only because of the historical aspect of the study of large scale, the market has been 'Global History', 'historical research' This excellent book, but also because of writing the history of human civilization, needs archeology, history of science, philosophy of science, technology aspects of the accumulation and economic history, art history, architectural history and political history. If you say 'a big book is a disaster,' then the author of 'partial subjects' will make it beyond redemption. The history of history need only, history and the history of knowledge. History was Dr. Wu Jun, we have a taste of the 'wave of the summit'; and he was in a different culture, the accumulation of scientific work at different institutions, coupled with his long-term fieldwork traveled to Europe, but also gives him a rare historical thickness and related knowledge heritage; from scientists to the identity of the successful transformation of investors, so that he can often tells beyond peer insight. These unique conditions to ensure that he can single-handedly, from the vast raw materials, selecting fragments makes up the light of civilization of a puzzle. With such a short space, so grand civilization overview picture, then this piece of the puzzle must be decent, cavalier perspective. In my opinion, throughout the book, 'meaning' there Air Jordan 5 are three: First, the evolutionary perspective; Second, science and technology - a combination of Capital Gold; Third, the anti-hero of History. We are no strangers to the evolutionary point of view, as a scientist-turned-author, with this view of history is very natural. But in a very long time, it was the biological point of view this is extended to the social sphere, which is somewhat beside the point, is not consistent with the scientific spirit. In essence, the evolutionary perspective is precisely opposed to the so-called laws of history, even Darwin himself said, he proposed the theory of evolution was inspired by the accidental reading Malthus's writings, the biological process of mutation is the great chance, and from the value judgments, survival Air Jordan 7 down is not necessarily 'better' is just more 'appropriate' only. As a small example of the arrangement of the English keyboard, and today we know that it is definitely not the best arrangement efficiency, but historical accident it turned out, even if it was to invent a more 'good' of the keyboard, there will not be viable. In Air Jordan Spizike this book, the adoption of contingency explain many cases, for example, Japan is an island, the relative lack of raw materials, thus making anything must be better, otherwise it will be considered a waste of property; when discussing why the Netherlands and the United Kingdom over Portugal and Spain, considered It is these two countries unfavorable geographical and climatic conditions (causal factors to God), and decided that they can only rely on business to get rich. Pingxin accepted this chance, we can understand why Dr. Wu Jun single open a chapter about the 'man-made miracle - porcelain.' Common history will not give a single piece of invention, so much space, even if you insist on writing a general authors will choose to spread ideas of printing (papermaking), rather than porcelain. Porcelain is unknown craftsman accidental invention; its technological advances and changes aesthetic point of view, is the perfect fusion of human civilization more evolved samples; Western countries using modern analytical methods, beyond the East 'craft' in the market, but also the power of science and technology proof; market profits factors driving European craftsmen worked tirelessly to find the secret of porcelain, from one side to explain the nearly 500 years in Europe and America the world's leading causes. When it comes to profits, since Confucianism stresses 'segment of society', together with the classical writers critique of capitalism, a long period of time, people shy away from talk about 'profit', that it is always the 'selfish' linked Hendou private word flash read. In fact, Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' is a derivation of 'self-interest' (selfinterest, rather than selfish selfish) process leading to altruistic. In the long run, promote the progress of human civilization is the source for no more than three G: God, Gold, Glory. Science and art of the ancient Greeks, as is the Glory, no direct application of many studies, feelings impressive, but to other civilizations can be copied not optimistic; large expansion of Islam in the Middle Ages, by the God given tough power, but when the horses on, this is the beginning of the decline of civilization; Throughout human history to 2000, the profit factor only Gold representatives, is beyond the pervasive power of all nations and cultures. Dr. Wu Jun science and technology - a combination of capital, to explain the evolution of porcelain; explain why the great voyages in Europe can continue, while sailing in China to an abrupt end after Zheng; why Heying become the mainstream of the world capitalist model; explain previous industrial revolution origin. This is the second book, 'meaning.' History is the anti-hero of this book Dr. Wu Jun third 'meaning' in the first half of the book, and implementing more thorough, such as the ancient Egyptian civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization nameless creator Air Jordan 18 tribute to Pharaoh Alexander the Great, Octavius and Mongols hehe martial arts understatement, the first volume of the catalog, only appeared Hammurabi a name; but in the second half of the book, History some shaken. I fully understand the difficulties of operating on the author: As a result, people are like stories, the story of the hero is not a name, really hard to improve readability; and secondly, due to intensive human science and technology development, research turned into a kind of professional, made a major discovery is based on the higher mathematics tools and complex and expensive experiments, rather than knowledge of life, like the kind of ordinary craftsmen to make the situation epoch in the history occasionally found less and less. Fortunately, however, the author of the nuances or make Air Jordan 17 some adjustments, such as when talking about the United States, put Franklin on Jefferson, Washington before, and the Franklin first defined as a scientist. Moreover, because Dr. Wu Jun himself is an outstanding scientist, so in the vast scientist, inventor of choice, also had his unique vision. He was in the text, for Franklin, Edison, Joule, Stephenson, Oppenheimer and other scientific inventions thinker who also understands the management, show particularly respect. This author's work experience in Silicon Valley are inseparable, but also to remind us: In modern times, the British created the Dutch economy sweeping the globe, from the specific business model, 'invention' and Nike Air Max 2011 'innovation' can only be a source of water forest without Wood, inevitably unsustainable. Speaking Heying system, I think experience PhD Wu 'wave of the summit,' a book when. In the IT industry, the rise and fall that this book speaks, he spent a considerable length the role of venture capital to discuss IT industry. At first glance somewhat beside the point, but the power carefully traced technological development, 'capital' of the soil falling word, it is really pushing those cool hand behind network innovation. This reminds me of the experience of Vanke, China Vanke 1988 transformation demutualization, listing in 1991, is one of the 'Five home' in Shenzhen, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of China Vanke, looking back, if it is the year of the capital market by means of the magic In a capital-intensive industry, we simply can not go today. These are the thoughts reading 'light of civilization' after Raja's point. The theme for the history of civilization, not the lack of raw materials, but cut the Gordian knot of courage and vision to see others not seen. Indeed, historical excerpt matter of opinion, I was not totally agree with every point of view Dr. Wu Jun in the book, but particularly admire his courage to harness this subject. In succession on the basis of previous results, dare to try, dare Lixin, not only in the basic requirements of academic work, but also a country, the power of an enterprise where self-subversion.
