The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? by Jared Diamond.
I'm a big fan of Diamond's and I liked this book. It received a lot of negative reviews, and I think one of the issues is that his previous books, while non-fiction, focused on much more dramatic content. They were entertaining and yet one didn't need an anthropology degree to understand them. The World Until Yesterday has more of a textbook vibe than Collapse and Guns, Germs, and Steel. |
