Not the same cover. The actual cover is shown on the left.

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 biography, 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.

Το πήρα στη σημερινή συνάντηση Οκτωβρίου 2008. Είναι ένα βιβλίο που ήθελα να διαβάσω. Ευχαριστώ Aris1!

Συνάντηση Σεπτεμβρίου 2011

Το βρήκα στη συνάντηση Σεπ2011,μοιάζει ενδιαφέρον και πιθανόν να είναι βιβλίο αναφοράς. Λόγω των 500 πυκνογραμμένων σελίδων του,θα αργήσει να διαβαστεί και να φύγει απ τα χέρια μου. Εάν κάποιος επιθυμεί,μπορώ να το βάλω σε ring
