Beschreibung:
Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME's best non-fiction books of all time, the number one international bestseller Collapse and most recently The World Until Yesterday. A professor of geography at UCLA and noted polymath, Diamond's work has been influential in the fields of anthropology, biology, ornithology, ecology and history, among others.
In seinem neuen, bahnbrechenden Buch weist Jared Diamond ein für allemal nach, daß nicht konstitutionelle Unterschiede der Menschen, sondern die klimatischen und geographischen Besonderheiten der verschiedenen Erdteile die Ursache für die Verteilung von Armut und Reichtum sind. Er widerlegt damit stichhaltig alle Theorien, denen die Frage nach der 'Rasse' zugrundeliegt.
Read this specially designed new edition of Jared Diamond's Pulitzer-prize winning exploration of what makes us human.
Why has human history unfolded so differently across the globe? In this Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Jared Diamond puts the case that 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 remains a groundbreaking and humane work of popular science.
