《星期日泰晤士報》2011年年度選書歷史著作榜首《經濟學人》2011年歷史類最佳圖書Amazon網站2011年10月當月選書2011年英國國家學院傑出成就獎繼布勞岱爾的《地中海史》之後，最重要的地中海史著作地中海，文化薈萃與交會之地地中海連接著歐洲、亞洲和非洲，數千年來一直是宗教、經濟和政治體系相遇、碰撞、互相影響和融合的地方。在這本精彩而廣博的著作中，作者提供了一個新鮮的視角，他專注於海洋本身：它在運輸和糧食供應上實際的重要性；它在帝國興衰中的動態角色；以及那些曾經穿越並反覆橫渡它的人物群像――水手、商人、移民、海盜、朝聖者。一部人類互動的歷史從史前時代到21世紀，《偉大的海》首先是一部人類互動的歷史。阿布拉菲雅將主要的政治和海軍發展，與貿易的漲落交織在一起，探索了地中海商業競爭如何創造了競爭與合作，商人們作為不同文化之間的中介，交易著在海的一側是異國情調而在另一側卻司空見慣的商品。他強調地中海文化保持文明理想的凸顯能力，即「共同生活」。港口城市的文化交融地中海一直是許多不同民族和宗教群體的交匯處，他們居住在其海岸和島嶼上――在遙遠的古代，有希臘人、伊特魯里亞人、腓尼基人；後世則有猶太人、基督徒和穆斯林。這些群體聚集在地中海周圍的港口城市，如古代的馬賽、中世紀的巴勒莫和亞歷山大港，現代的利沃諾和士麥那，他們不僅在高等文化層面上相互交流，也在日常生活中相互影響。一方面，中世紀時期通過穆斯林和基督教西班牙傳遞了醫學和天文學知識；另一方面，地中海各大港口的商人和水手在做生意時和平相處，彼此尊重。他們經常能夠跨越爭奪海洋控制權的敵對競爭者之間的界限，在基督教和穆斯林土地之間移動，受到當地統治者的保護。一個關於貿易和衝突的史詩故事在本書中，大衛．阿布拉菲雅講述了地中海上人類的全程歷史。從20000多年前直布羅陀的克羅馬儂人洞穴居民開始，一直延伸到現代，他將大海視為「液態大陸」，一個人們居住和旅行的地方――貿易、文化交流和帝國建設在這裡與海流、潮汐和天氣模式一樣，是生活的關鍵力量。其中巧妙地描繪了地中海如何始終足夠廣大，能讓文化保持分隔，從而讓它們有空間作為獨特實體蓬勃發展，但它從未如此之大，以至於讓不同的文化無法互動。結果是一個關於貿易和衝突的史詩故事，展示了語言、宗教、法律和其他人類焦點問題的差異，如何激發了我們今天簡單地認為是文化的許多內容。

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo
