Introduction
【Editor's recommendation】
◎It took humans 3 million years to learn a cruel lesson: whoever can take the lead by half a step can destroy the opponent!
◎A new blockbuster work by Wen Junxuan, the author of the classics "Who is at the Center of the World" and "Seeing the World from a Geographical Perspective", which have a high Douban score of 8.9.
◎300,000 words connect 40 key nodes in human history and reproduce the magnificent 3 million years of human evolution history.
◎The book contains 28 original high-definition large maps, which completely sort out the global geopolitical system, see the joys and sorrows of human nature, restore the desperate struggle of civilization, and find the rules hidden behind geography and time in the process of human evolution.
◎ Wen Junxuan: When I realized that maps could help me solve my historical doubts, I started looking for books in bookstores, but could hardly find any books on the subject. So I had to do my own research.
◎Why geography?
Geopolitics is not the same as geography. Geo refers to the geographical and cultural environment, while geography refers to relationships. The geopolitical perspective studies the relationship between people and the environment. From the evolution of human technology to the way countries get along with each other, to the work, life, and marriage choices of individuals, there are fresh answers here.
【Content introduction】
In the three million years of human evolution, whoever can master advanced technology first can gain a temporary lead and even eliminate other competitors.
Therefore, writing a history of mankind from a geopolitical perspective is not only about reviewing the evolution of mankind, showing the many civilizations with their own strengths, and comparing the successes and failures of the East and the West, but also about finding the rules hidden behind geography and time, as well as those key technological nodes, to help everyone re-understand themselves and see the direction of the future world.
【Wonderful Introduction】
All the past, present and future on the map will be repeated in different forms. Only by understanding the map can we understand the turbulent history; only by understanding the geography can we see the new direction of the world in the future.
