★ 橫跨歐亞非的文明之路，一本看懂「絲綢之路」如何改變世界★ 超過80位國際學者聯手，權威解析古代全球交流網絡★ 地圖×影像×考古×文化，重現人類歷史最壯闊的連結當世界重新思考文化與權力的版圖，「絲綢之路」再次成為理解歷史與未來的關鍵。本書由知名學者Susan Whitfield主編，集結全球八十餘位專家，從草原、山脈、河谷到沙漠與海洋，重建這條橫跨歐亞非的古代交流網絡。商品、信仰、科技與思想在此流動，促成文明的碰撞與融合。透過精緻地圖、豐富影像與考古發現，本書不僅呈現歷史，更帶領讀者看見文化如何在差異之中綻放。這不只是過去的故事，更是理解當代世界的重要線索。As world powers realign their cultural, economic and political outlooks, there is no better time to consider how Afro-Eurasia's complex network of ancient trade routes - which spanned the vastness of the steppe, vertiginous mountain ranges, fertile river plains and forbidding deserts across the continents and on to the seas beyond - fostered economic activity and cultural, political and technological communication. From silk to slaves, fashion to music, religion to science the movement of interaction of goods, people and ideas was crucial to the flourishing of peoples and their cultures across this vast region. Edited by Susan Whitfield, an established authority on the subject, with contributions from over 8

The scale of China's innovation ambitions inspires worldwide commentary, much of it poorly informed. Focusing on electricity, telecommunication and semiconductors, this book offers a richly detailed account of China's innovation efforts. Massive application of human, policy and financial resources shows great promise, but institutional obstacles, conflicting objectives, ill-advised policies and Soviet-era legacies inject inefficiencies, resulting in a complex mosaic of success and failure in both technical and commercial dimensions. State Grid leads the world in high-voltage power transmission, while domestic semiconductors lag behind the international frontier. Electricity and telecom providers record impressive technical advances, but overinvestment and inefficient operation contribute to high costs and prices. Nuclear power combines technical excellence with commercial weakness. Cost reduction rather than new technology underpins commercial success in solar materials. The book's gra
