價崩:氣候危機與大明王朝的終結 (漢學大師卜正民): : 21 1644 1640 Timothy Brook NN

作者: 卜正民  |  譯者: 馮奕達


明朝滅亡不是因為崇禎,甚至也不是因為女真,
而是氣候變遷導致的物價崩潰!
相似的災難,是否正在21世紀重演?

漢學大師卜正民,繼《維梅爾的帽子》後最具野心的嘗試
結合歷史、經濟與環境領域,大膽挑戰國家興衰的傳統解釋

  1644年,明帝國在歷經近三百年的穩定與繁榮後滅亡了。後世許多歷史學家將明朝衰亡歸咎於崇禎能力不足或外患滿人入侵,但實情則更為複雜與意想不到。藉由對明代經濟與社會民生的紮實研究,本書對中國歷史提出了一項全新觀點,探討全球氣候變遷如何導致明朝終結。

  十七世紀中期見證了小冰河期最致命階段,氣溫與雨量驟降,全球經濟陷入崩潰。著名漢學家卜正民根據糧食價格的歷史資料,細緻描繪出大明王朝最後的輝煌與動盪。他探討全球貿易網路逐漸增加的中國白銀進口量,如何影響了明代物價與明帝國的政策,也刻劃了平民老百姓在糧食短缺與饑荒中掙扎的日常生活。直到1640年代初,明朝政府才發現自己陷入一場結合酷寒與乾旱的致命災難,所有避禍與改革嘗試都徒勞無功,物價與政權於是連帶崩潰瓦解。

  透過地方志、民間紀錄與外國傳教士所留下來的文獻,本書重現了國家從繁榮滑向災難的關鍵時刻,揭示市場機制、帝國控制與氣候因素之間如何互相作用,以及身處其中的市井小民在龐大物價壓力下的歷史經驗。

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.
