地平线：现代科学的全球起源[有声读物]

这是一部从未被讲述过的科学史：一部关于外来者和无名英雄的故事，远远超出了我们大多数人所学的西方经典。当我们思考现代科学的起源时，我们通常从欧洲开始。我们记得尼古拉斯·哥白尼、艾萨克·牛顿、查尔斯·达尔文和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的伟大思想。但是，科学史不是，也从来不是，一个独特的欧洲努力。哥白尼依靠的是来自阿拉伯语和波斯语文本的数学技术。牛顿运动定律使用了在亚洲和非洲进行的天文观测。
当达尔文写物种起源的文章时，他查阅了一本16世纪的中国百科全书。爱因斯坦在研究量子力学时，受到了孟加拉物理学家萨蒂恩德拉·纳特·博斯的启发。《地平线》是一部从未被讲述过的科学史，揭示了它的无名英雄，揭示了最重要的科学突破来自世界各地不同文化的思想交流。在这部雄心勃勃、具有启示意义的历史中，詹姆斯·波斯基特重塑了科学史，揭示了非洲、美洲、亚洲和太平洋地区的科学家对这一全球故事的重要贡献。
Horizons: The Global Origins of Modern Science [Audiobook]
The history of science as it has never been told before: a tale of outsiders and unsung heroes from far beyond the Western canon that most of us are taught. When we think about the origins of modern science we usually begin in Europe. We remember the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein. But the history of science is not, and has never been, a uniquely European endeavor. Copernicus relied on mathematical techniques that came from Arabic and Persian texts. Newton’s laws of motion used astronomical observations made in Asia and Africa.
When Darwin was writing On the Origin of Species, he consulted a sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia. And when Einstein studied quantum mechanics, he was inspired by the Bengali physicist, Satyendra Nath Bose. Horizons is the history of science as it has never been told before, uncovering its unsung heroes and revealing that the most important scientific breakthroughs have come from the exchange of ideas from different cultures around the world. In this ambitious, revelatory history, James Poskett recasts the history of science, uncovering the vital contributions that scientists in Africa, America, Asia, and the Pacific have made to this global story.
