Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

I honestly wasn't engaged at all with the text and structure of the book. It felt like reading a textbook or an extremely long essay about something the author wanted to prove that I didn't really about, surprisingly. It was just not for me.

Generally interesting, if often irritating, introduction to geographic explanations for divergences in human cultures, technology, etc.

Absolutely fascinating and refreshing (for anyone not in the field, perhaps) take on why wealth is distributed between nations as it is today. A bit too long-winded and repetitive, however.

What an enjoyable read. Perhaps a bit dry, but it is hard to write about these kind of topics without a little bit dry feeling. Still I learned more about the human history and why certain parts were more prone to move forward than others. Recommended.
