Guns, germs, and steel by
Jared M Diamond(
Visual
)
17 editions published between 2004 and 2016 in English and held by 2,133 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
An epic detective story that offers a gripping expose on why the world is so unequal. Professor Jared Diamond traveled the globe for over 30 years trying to answer this question. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Why did Eurasians conquer, displace, or decimate Native Americans, Australians, and Africans, instead of the reverse? Diamond dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history's broadest patterns -- episode 1, Out of Eden, cites evidence from Papua New Guinea to the Middle East to support Diamond's theory that a society's development may have had less to do with skill or ingenuity, than the ability to raise high-protein grains and domesticated livestock. He suggests that successful farming gave rise to an explosion of sophisticated civilizations, from the Fertile Crescent to the New World. -- episode 2, Conquest, Spanish conquistador Pizarro's 16th century assault on the Inca is the focus this episode. Was it the Spaniards' advanced weaponry that defeated the empire? Or was it also the Europeans' innate resilience to some infectious diseases? The European triumph of the New World may have rested on an agent of conquest unknown to even the conquerors, and that proved deadlier than any human foe. -- episode 3, Into the tropics, Diamond extends his quest to Africa, probing early European attempts to colonize the continent. The conquerors were initially successful, repelling native attackers with rifles and Maxim guns, but they met unexpected obstacles when they moved from temperate zones to the tropics. The debilitating scourge of malaria, like the AIDS epidemic of today, overwhelmed their mightiest resources
