About Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond: Professor Jared Diamond's informative and fascinating Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel explores a historic question: Why were the Eurasian peoples able to dominate those from other lands? Diamond argues that it was ecology and geography--not race--that shaped the modern world. Societies that developed in regions with fertile land for farming and that had domesticable plants and animals were able to progress more quickly, thereby creating the tools to conquer preliterate cultures.
