Guns, Germs, and Steel. The Fates of Human Societi
Category: Science: Sociology: Change
Author: Jared Diamond
Copyright/published Year: 1999 by W W Norton
ISBN: 0393317552
Binding: soft cove
In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H.
McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond
convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors
shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in
food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and
then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent
weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and
decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our
understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel
chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and
stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in
Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of
California's Gold Medal.
