Fragmented Land, Divided Society is a comprehensive history of the third most populous country of Latin America. It offers the most extensive discussion available in English of the whole of Colombian history-from pre-Columbian times to the present. The book begins with an in-depth look at the earliest years in Colombia's history, emphasizing the role geography played in shaping Colombia's economy, society, and politics and in encouraging the growth of distinctive regional cultures and identities. It includes a thorough discussion of Colombian politics that looks at the ways in which historical memory has affected political choices, particularly in the formation and development of the country's two traditional political parties. The authors explore the factors that have contributed to Colombia's economic troubles, such as the delay in its national economic integration and its relative ineffectiveness as an exporter. The three concluding chapters offer an authoritative
and up-to-date examination of the impact of coffee on Colombia's economy and society, the social and political effects of urban growth, and the multiple dimensions of the violence that has plagued the country since 1946. Written in clear, vigorous prose, Fragmented Land, Divided Society is essential for students of Latin American history and politics, and for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the history of this fascinating and tumultuous country.

通过大量的插图、事例及重大的发现，《剑桥插图考古史》展示了人类对过去的认识是怎样随着时代的变迁而演进的。在考古探索中，“事实”与“推测”的关系错综复杂，本书尤关注于此，并力图区分哪些是欺骗、赝品、错误，哪些是毋庸置疑的科学结论。

万历十五年，亦即公元1587年，在西欧历史上为西班牙舰队全部出动征英的前一年；而在中国，这平平淡淡的一年中，发生了若干为历史学家所易于忽视的事件。这些事件，表面看来虽似末端小节，但实质上却是以前发生大事的症结，也是将在以后掀起波澜的机缘。在历史学家黄仁宇的眼中，其间的关系因果，恰为历史的重点，而我们的大历史之旅，也自此开始……
《万历十五年》是黄仁宇的成名之作，也是他的代表作之一。这本书融会了他数十年人生经历与治学体会，首次以“大历史观”分析明代社会之症结，观察现代中国之来路，给人启发良多。英文原本推出后，被美国多所大学采用为教科书，并两次获得美国书卷奖历史类好书的提名。
