"The Collision of History: 1493" is a classic work that uses an alternative ecological perspective to interpret globalization and world history over the past 500 years. The author has visited various continents in Asia, Europe and the United States, citing the research results of ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and historians. He continues to challenge Eurocentrism and focuses on how the ecological collision between Europe and the Americas has substantially changed one aspect of human history. It answers our confusion about the destiny of mankind and the globalization of social development, and fundamentally explains the roots of the industrial revolution, malaria, and political disputes (immigration, trade policy, and culture wars). "The Collision of History: 1493" is both historical and inspiring, breaking the stereotypes of globalization in historical research and teaching. In current history textbooks, there are only a few sentences describing the event of Columbus landing on the American continent, and even less introduction to the history of the American continent. In Charles Mann's writing, Columbus landed on the American continent in 1492, which can be called the source of current globalization problems. It was one of the important events after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The "Columbian Exchange" brought about chaotic exchanges and collisions between the mysterious American continent and other independent continents - American independence and malarial mosquitoes, British Industrial Revolution and Amazon rubber, American silver and the intensification of the demise of the Ming Dynasty... Various seemingly unrelated events contain close connections. It was these events that accelerated the formation of the modern world. Teenagers will discover new perspectives on world history, and adult readers will also rethink the reasons for the stalemate of globalization.
