Welcome, of course.<br>The Bryson book sounds good also. <br>Will see how this one goes down first and if there is anything left <br>for me to learn. <br><br>
<br>I recommend the audio-book. It's not presented as cold-hard-facts, but rather <br>a series of conversations and observations that lends itself to relating a story.<br>Having the author read it allows you certain an insight via his inflections<br>during the narrative making it easier to pick up on a joke, or wordplay<br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green> [color:green]. . . _ _ _ . . .</font color=green><br>
Guns, Germs and Steel is one of my top ten favorite books. Your link is the the PBS presentation of the book. I think I watched about 30 minutes of one and gagged. As always, the movie sucks, the book is better.<br><br>His 2005 book "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed " might be more germane to the thread but I haven't read it yet.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
