本书是一部展现气候变化与疾病如何加速罗马帝国覆灭的宏阔新史。这是对人类历史上最具深远影响的篇章之一——罗马帝国的衰亡——所作的不朽重述。The Fate of Rome 是首部探讨气候变化与传染病在罗马强权崩溃中所起灾难性作用的著作——一段大自然战胜人类野心的历史。Kyle Harper 将宏大的历史叙事与前沿的气候科学及基因发现交织在一起,追溯了罗马的命运如何不仅仅取决于皇……

  • 如果你对这个话题感兴趣,我强烈推荐 Kyle Harper 的《罗马的命运》(The Fate of Rome),讨论了城市化、拓展的贸易与商业网络以及流行病之间的协同演化。

    If you're interested in the topic, I strongly recommend Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome, discussing co-evolution of urbanisation, extended trade and commerce networks, and epidemic disease.

  • …操纵性攻击、骚扰,以及 Trust & Safety(信任与安全)领域那一长串老生常谈的问题。协同演化威胁的概念大体源于生物学,不过我强烈推荐 Kyle Harper 的《罗马的命运》(The Fate of Rome),该书假定文明(其本身就是社交网络)与它们的瘟疫是相伴协同演化的。我刚知道圣塔菲研究所(Santa Fe Institute)那帮人都是 Harper 的粉丝(Geoffrey West……

    …manipulation attacks, harrassment, and the usual laundry list of Trust & Safety issues. The notion of co-evolving threats comes from biology generally, though I'd strongly recommend Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome which postulates that civilisations (themselves social networks) and their plagues co-evolve alongside one another. I've just learned that the Santa Fe Institute crowd are fans of Harpers (Geoffrey West…

  • 近期的学术研究基本就是这样看待复杂的、长期的多模态事件和演变的。比如《罗马的命运》(Fate of Rome)就是一本比较新的书,探讨了疾病和气候变化等问题:https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691166834/th...

    This is more or less how more recent scholarship looks at complicated, long-term multi-modal sort of events and changes. Fate of Rome is a fairly recent book that examines things like disease and climate change, for instance: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691166834/th...

  • …卫生状况、缺乏疾病理论,以及广泛且远距离的商业贸易。从罗马时期开始(甚至更早),古代文明就与其主要的流行病协同演化。在这方面,我极力推荐 Kyle Harper 的《罗马的命运》(The Fate of Rome)。

    …hygiene, lack of a theory of disease, and widespread and distant commerce. Ancient civilisations, from Rome onward (and before) co-evolved with their major epidemics. I cannot recommend Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome highly enough in this regard.

  • …参见:http://www.fraser-courtman.co.uk/list_of_famines_&_pestilenc... 别忘了,要是没有城市和贸易,很少有传染病能扩散到一个局部部落之外。Kyle Harper 的《罗马的命运》(The Fate of Rome)提出了有力论据,证明折磨该帝国的瘟疫和疫病是随帝国一同协同演化的。https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691166834/th...

    …See: http://www.fraser-courtman.co.uk/list_of_famines_&_pestilenc... Keep in mind that without cities and trade, few infectious diseases could spread much beyond a localised tribe. Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome makes a strong argument that the plagues and pestilences which afflicted the empire co-evolved with it. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691166834/th...
