书籍简介：

In A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neal MacGregor, director of the British Museum, takes readers on a tour of the world by way of its material goods. From everyday items such as pots, utensils, and money to valuables such as art and jewelry, MacGregor shows that the things humans have left behind are often as rich and informative as written texts. Whether it's a strange and unique object like a throne made of rifles from Mozambique or a medieval German crystal, or a familiar one like a sculpture of the head of Augustus or Hokusai's painting The Great Wave, MacGregor skillfully weaves each one into the fabric of the society that it came from. In that sense, the book is much more than a museum catalog: it's a hundred keyhole views into a hundred different societies from around the world and throughout history.

Neil MacGregor has been the director of the British Museum since 2002; prior to that, he was the director of the National Gallery in London. A popular presenter on BBC television and radio, he was named Briton of the Year in 2008. He lives in England.

书友短评：

@ 一曲微茫 作为一个觉得自己并不喜欢历史的理科生，居然津津有味地把这本书读完了！！！(well,虽然耗时长得我都记不起来多久)在国博参观完大英博物馆的这个系列的展览之后，就开始看这本书的英文电子版。大概这就是懂行的人看展览跟我看展览的区别吧，怎么每件物品都能牵扯出来那么多有意思的政治宗教经济文化背景啊！如果展览的每一件物品都有这么详细的介绍，那……估计我一天就只能看两三件展品吧😂除了内容本身生动有趣，这本书的文字也是写得特别棒。对我这样的门外汉来说，读起来很轻松，但时不时有一种醍醐灌顶的感觉，还兼备一点英式幽默。是一本非常优秀的休闲读物～ @ Dududu自己玩 作为一个觉得自己并不喜欢历史的理科生，居然津津有味地把这本书读完了！！！(well,虽然耗时长得我都记不起来多久)在国博参观完大英博物馆的这个系列的展览之后，就开始看这本书的英文电子版。大概这就是懂行的人看展览跟我看展览的区别吧，怎么每件物品都能牵扯出来那么多有意思的政治宗教经济文化背景啊！如果展览的每一件物品都有这么详细的介绍，那……估计我一天就只能看两三件展品吧😂除了内容本身生动有趣，这本书的文字也是写得特别棒。对我这样的门外汉来说，读起来很轻松，但时不时有一种醍醐灌顶的感觉，还兼备一点英式幽默。是一本非常优秀的休闲读物～ @ 熊苗君 读得很感动的科普书，用了俩月的时间断断续续读完，同时刷了两遍horrible histories前五季，最后的大合唱很能概括我对这本书的看法：we are history.
