浅谈科学文明的“历史的地理枢纽”

On the“Geographical Hub in History”of Scientific Civilization

在地理学史上,有所谓"枢纽地区"或"心脏地带"一说,认为某些地理状况或地缘关系具有某种权重,发挥着"枢纽"的作用,从而制约着人类历史活动的某些方面。以英国地理学家哈·麦金德(H.J.Mackinder)的"历史的地理枢纽"说为代表。

In history,certain nations or civilizations played an important role as a"hub"in the development of scientific civilization due to their unique geographical location and superior conditions.The phenomena of the"geographical hub in history"are manifested in different historical periods and on various levels of geographic scope.
