书籍介绍
房龙以如椽大笔，在《给大家看的全球通史》中，为读者展现了一幅波澜浩荡的人类文明画卷：
数百万年前，我们最初的“类人”祖先出现在莽荒的地球之上，制造石器、学习种植，顺着时间之流进入文明的起源——埃及和美索不达米亚文明。而后，人类历史的脚步骤然加快，从两河流域到地中海沿岸，从古希腊、古罗马的辉煌到宗教兴起，从中世纪到文艺复兴，从地理大发现到第一次工业革命，从拿破仑到希特勒，从过去到未来……
这是一部宏大的人类简史，读之能让你感叹、激动、掩卷长思；这是一出有血有肉的历史大剧，你能俯瞰历史之河的奔腾不息，也能凝神观察每朵浪花的奇妙瑰丽。

精彩摘录
- "Carthage was a plutocracy and the real power of the state lay in the hands of a dozen big ship-owners and mine-owners and merchants who met in the back room of an office and regarded their common Fatherland as a business enterprise which ought to yield them a decent profit."
- "Of course, such a "plutocracy" was forever at the mercy of the crowd. As long as there was plenty of work and wages were high, the majority of the citizens were quite contented, allowed their "betters" to rule them and asked no embarrassing questions. But when no ships left the harbor, when no ore w"

- "But once the kings had been driven from the city, the Romans were forced to bridle the power of the nobles, and it took many centuries before they managed to establish a system which gave every free citizen of Rome a chance to take a personal interest in the affairs of his town."

- "He refused to accept battle but forever he followed Hannibal, destroyed everything eatable, destroyed the roads, attacked small detachments and generally weakened the morale of the Carthaginian troops by a most distressing and annoying form of guerilla warfare."
