Description:
In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. ì
McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond ì
convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors ì
shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in ì
food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and ì
then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent ì
weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and ì
decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our ì
understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel ì
chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and ì
stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. ì
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in ì
Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of ì
California's Gold Medal.
This is a used book and is in Good condition.
