<HTML>... Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years" ?
Winner of the 1998 Rhone-Poulenc Science book prize.

It's described by Colin Renfrew as, "A book of remarkable scope... One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent 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"</HTML>
