Product Description
Guns, Germs and Steel: 20th Anniversary Edition by Jared Diamond examines why societies across different regions developed along very different historical paths.
Central ideas
Diamond argues that geography, domesticated plants and animals, disease environments, technology, and patterns of exchange played major roles in shaping the distribution of power and resources across human societies. The book approaches large-scale history through geography, anthropology, ecology, and related fields.
Who it is for
A thought-provoking read for those interested in world history, human societies, geography, anthropology, and broad explanations of long-term historical change.
