文明之光 #1
文明之光（第一册）
人类的历史，是从野蛮蒙昧一步步走向文明进步的过程。在文明的进程中，人类创造出多元的文化，它们有着各自的特长。要实现人类和平发展的终极理想，一个重要的前提是承认文化的多元性，并且取长补短，相互融合。
吴军博士写作《文明之光》系列，希望能开阔人们的视野，让我们看到各种各样的人类文明。虽然今天不同的地区发达程度不同，文明历史的长短不一，国家亦有大小之分，但是文明之光从世界的每一个角落发出，对人类的进步产生着影响，并且成为了奠定我们今天发达世界的基石。
吴军博士从来不坐在书斋里编书。为了创作《文明之光》，他走遍世界各地寻访当年文明的遗迹，并到各大博物馆参观了大量的文物。加上他在不同文化、不同机构下科研工作的积累，这一切赋予了他难得的史料厚度和相关知识底蕴；而从科学家向投资家身份的成功转型，使得他常常能道出超越同侪的见识。
书中文字轻松优美，图文并茂，引人入胜。毫不夸张地讲，这是一本在今天快速消费时代，适合人们拿在手上慢慢欣赏品读的好书。

The series of the book introduce and connect the human development of many aspects in a very interesting way. Considering myself not a fun in art and history, the author still manage to catch my attention in the entire series. From knowing the process of development, made me deeply appreciate the environment that I'm given.
Lastly I would say reading this series worth more than the time I spent from the school minor subjects combine, strongly recommended!

很客观、很有趣儿，从多方面反映了历史的必然性和偶然性，浅显易懂。最喜欢讲美第奇家族的那一篇~

几乎可以说“吴军出品，必属佳品”。虽然不全面，但是见解都很高，尤其是对毕加索的作品解释令人信服。
