Книга: Jared Diamond «Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13, 000 Years»
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. Издательство: "Vintage" (2005) Формат: 130x195, 512 стр.

Diamond is the author of a number of
His best-known work is the non-fiction,
In his following book, "" (2005), Diamond examines a range of past civilizations and societies, attempting to identify why they collapsed into ruins or survived only in a massively reduced form. He considers what contemporary societies can learn from these societal collapses. As in "Guns, Germs, and Steel", he argues against ethnocentric explanations for the collapses which he discusses, and focuses instead on ecological factors. He pays particular attention to the Norse settlements in Greenland, which vanished as the climate got colder, while the surrounding
He also has chapters on the collapse of the Maya,
In "Collapse", Diamond distances himself from the charges of "ecological or environmental determinism" that were leveled against him in "Guns, Germs, and Steel" [http://us.penguingroup.com/static/rguides/us/collapse.html] . This is particularly evident in his chapter comparing
