New York: W.W. Norton & Company. 1999. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Binding is square and tight. Interior is unmarked. Cover is clean. Not from a library. No remainder mark. 480 pages.
Jared Diamond 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 dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, and the Rhone-Poulenc Prize.
