Title: GUNS GERMS AND STEEL : A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years
Author: DIAMOND JARED
Format: PAPER COVER
Publishing status: ACTIVE TITLE

This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.
