Best World history Videos
「World history」下面有147部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象:入门7部,适合还没学过的人;进阶4部,适合已经懂术语的人;普通向136部,按兴趣就能看;更硬的0部,留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解,所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括CGP Grey、Tom Scott、Denis Shiryaev。目录给这个主题划的范围是:History: ancient civilizations, medieval, empires, 20th century history, Cold War, archival footage, history documentaries, historical lectures, Dan Carlin, history of ideas and places.如果只看三部,就从《Try to Rule Fairly and You'll Be Overthrown》开始,它负责把问题讲出画面;然后看《Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by Ray Dalio》,换一种讲法或例子;最后看《London Swallowed a City but Couldn't Digest It.》,留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开,顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月,不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明,用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看,把引用当成只是拿来举例,把批评留下来对照,不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
