The concept of this book is quite ambitious, but well done. A thought provoking socio- anthropological account of how the many nations and people of the world got to be where they are today.

Amazing book abour human society and civilization and how it came to be.

this is a clever and well written insight into the history of modern society. I recommend reading this on the train on your way to Machu Pichu - it some how makes Diamond's points about potatoes and guinea pigs all that more meaningful.
