Lynn White 的经典研究《Medieval technology and social change》考察了三项重大创新：马镫，它催生了作为突击部队的骑兵，并导致社会为供养他们而进行封建重组；由铁制马拉……驱动的农业革命
Lynn White's classic study, "Medieval technology and social change", looks at three broad innovations: the stirrup, which led to mounted knights as shock troops and the feudal reorganization of society to support them; the agricultural revolution driven by iron horse-drawn…

……去查阅伊斯兰、印度和亚洲的数据。此外还有放射性碳定年法和树轮年代学，这些方法本身虽然误差不小，但差出300年？不太可能。巧的是，我刚好在读 Lynn White 的《Medieval technology and social change》（1966年），里面讨论了马镫和重犁（相对于轻犁/划犁）的引入，这两件事都发生在这个时期。虽然很难给出确切的年份，但一些重大……
…looking at Islamic, Indian, and Asian data. And then there's radiometric dating and dendrochronology, which are chaotic in their own right, but 300 years? Nah. Weirdly, I was just reading Lynn White's Medieval technology and social change (1966), discussing the introduction of the stirrup and the heavy plow (as opposed to the scratch plow), both of which happened in this period.

A couple of years ago, I read Medieval Technology and Social Change, by Lynn White (https://www.amazon.com/Medieval-Technology-Social-Change-Whi...) as recommended by PG. Technically a textbook, it was a dry and drab look at the history of various innovations during Midlevel…
