Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years (UK)

Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years Paperback – Abridged, 30 April 1998 by Jared Diamond (Author).

'A book of big questions, and big answers' Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens

Why has human history unfolded so differently across the globe? And what can it teach us about our current crisis?

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 is a ground-breaking and humane work of popular science that can provide expert insight into our modern world.
