This Week's Featured E-Book
Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond with narration by Grover Gardner
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. In this groundbreaking work, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history’s broadest patterns. It is a story that spans 13,000 years of human history, beginning when Stone Age hunter-gatherers constituted the entire human population. Guns, Germs, and Steel is a world history that really is a history of all the world’s peoples, a unified narrative of human life. Parts: 8, Duration: 5 hours, 58 minutes. Software needed: OverDrive Media Console 1.0
