Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years
Автор:Jared Diamond Год: 2005 Издание:Vintage Страниц: 512 ISBN: 9780099302780 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.
