Rappers' sons making their own music
Adam Gorney
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
Recollections and a nickname are what Naijiel Hale has to remember his father, the rapper Nate Dogg whose untimely passing more than two years ago serves as motivation for the 2014 cornerback.
"Skybox" was the moniker given to the Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco standout by his father and it serves as a reminder that in death as in life, dad is watching from above.
Hale, who uses @YoungNateDogg as his Twitter handle, said the nickname keeps him connected to his dad and that he knows his dad is watching out for and protecting him.
"I know I'm making him happy," Hale said. "When he was around he always told me, (Naijiel's) nickname was Skybox for him, and he said if he was alive or dead he would be watching me play in the league in the skybox.
"That's why I go by Skybox. People know me by that. That was my nickname playing for Snoop coming up. I just basically go off that every day. Before our players come in, I just say skybox or whatever to get some motivation."
Hale is not the only son of a famous rapper shining on Los Angeles high school football fields. Cordell Broadus is a 2015 wide receiver from Diamond Bar, Calif., whose father is Snoop Lion, aka Snoop Dogg.
The two fathers collaborated in the music industry. The sons are on the same 7-on-7 team -- the Snoop Dogg All-Stars -- and are surefire Division I football players. The fathers made music in sold-out stadiums. The sons will be playing football in them.
Hale already has offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, California, Nebraska, San Jose State and Washington State. USC, UCLA and many others are recruiting the St. John Bosco standout.
Since Hale plays on arguably the state's best football team heading into next season, it's almost assured his recruitment will pick up even more.
Broadus still has two years of high school remaining and already his recruitment has taken off. USC recently offered the 6-foot-3, 186-pound prospect who also has offers from Cal, Duke, Oregon State, UCLA and Washington.
Snoop Lion is an accomplished rapper, but he's also an involved father and there's no doubt he's doling out advice to his son -- who's listening to every word.
"I'm blessed and happy at the same time," Broadus said. "I'm just a sophomore and I'm getting this much recognition. I want to give a big thanks to my quarterback because without them this wouldn't be possible because they're throwing me the ball and also my O-linemen.
"I have two years to think but I've been thinking about it a little bit. I want to go where it's best for me and that could be East Coast, West Coast, the South. It could be anywhere. I'm just waiting patiently to figure out where I want to go.
"My dad just tells me not to worry about things too much. He tells me to stay humble and keep working. That's the main thing."
Hale and Broadus go through their daily lives as the sons of famous rappers but both say they don't think about it much. It's a story line, something interesting for fans, but they're so used to the fame, the lifestyle that it's become commonplace. They really are just normal kids, teammates like everyone else.
When the Snoop All-Stars played in a recent 7-on-7 tournament in Las Vegas, Snoop Lion was on the sidelines with a security detail, signing autographs and taking pictures. During his son's game, though, he was cheering on the team and badgering the refs a little, too.
Just like any concerned parent.
This has been life for Broadus, so having a famous father is not a big deal. It's all he knows.
"I just do my own thing," Broadus said. "I don't give it attention at all. I'm just working and bonding with my team right now trying to get ready for this season, so I'm not really interested in that attention at all.
"That's been going on for a while. I'm used to it. I've been Snoop Dogg's kid for many years but I'm trying to go in my own lane and make a name for myself with this football thing."
The same goes for Hale although the circumstances are a little different since his father has passed away.
Getting recognition and publicity is sometimes easier, Hale said, because his name is forever tied to Nate Dogg. That said, he embraces it. The St. John Bosco standout will forever be the son of a rapper, but he's also trying to make his own way in the world.
"It can get tough at times but overall it's easier," Hale said. "It helps me get more publicity than I would get and I really don't look at it like that too much. I just go off who I am and I don't brag about it or anything. I don't even know how some people find out. It's just who I am."
That's just who he is, nothing more. A kid trying to play big-time college football while remembering the lessons his father taught him.
"There were many speeches I got," Hale said.
"He always told me when he was gone everything was going to belong to me and my brother and how we hold it down and react to it is important. I take that into serious consideration and I'm living through that. I'm doing what he would do and what he would want me to do."

Cooperative Highly Accelerated Mathematics Program
|MSU Parking
There are no spaces in the area immediately around Wells Hall for which "visitor parking" is legal during the day. In addition, ticketing for illegal parking on campus is extremely quick and efficient. If you plan to park and leave your car, use one of the pay parking lots designated for visitors. The pay lots nearest to Wells Hall are located to the north and the south of the football stadium. In an "emergency," where you may need to park your car for "just a minute," your best bet to avoid a parking ticket may be to put your car in the loading ramp at Wells Hall located directly opposite the smokestack. Although it is illegal to park a car there, your chances of getting a ticket are somewhat reduced, as allowances are made for cars and trucks making deliveries into the building. But to minimize your chance of getting a ticket by using the loading ramp, you need to be sure that you are not in the way of any vehicle wishing to enter or leave the loading area.
After 6 pm weekdays and on weekend:
Any car may park legally park at any legitimate parking space in the area near Wells Hall, or in any open parking lot after 6 pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. (Note: There are parking restrictions for special events.) .
Dropping off and Picking Up Students on Campus:
All CHAMP classes meet in the C-wing of Wells Hall -- this is the portion of Wells Hall that is nearest the Red Cedar River. There is a door to the C-wing of Wells Hall that is convenient from Red Cedar road, and dropping students off near this door should not present problems. However, please plan the after-class pick-up in a way that does not cause a traffic jam near this door. The road is one lane in each direction, and there may be as many as 40 cars picking up CHAMP students. Thus, you should not loiter near the door to the C-wing. There are several areas nearby where a car can "sit" for a few minutes without blocking traffic. Please scout these out and arrange for the student(s) you are picking up to look for you in these areas. Students will be let out at 3:30, so if you arrive for pickup before that time, please do not position your car in a way that will obstruct normal traffic.
A list of all students expected to participate in CHAMP is available. If you wish to form a car pool, please feel free to phone the parents of students listed who either live near you or who attend the same school as your son or daughter. The list of students are grouped by the school they attend. It might be useful to look at the list of students from nearby schools and school districts when forming a car pool.

power-c dragonfruit
Glaceau VitaminWater
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 6/22/2004 10:38 PM
Power-C is a berry flavored Vitamin Water from Glaceau. Featuring the flavor of dragonfruit, this beverage has been enhanced with Vitamin C and taurine (an amino acid, most famous for its use in energy drinks). The flavor has a very light berry taste with a slightly bitter finish. The bitterness was a bit of an issue for us, but overall, it's a nice low calorie beverage that will give you a boost when you need it.

Chris Adams, . / / News
THE FAMILY of a Rossendale dad killed in a car crash have paid tribute to their 'baby'.
Zolillur Rahman, 24, was one of two people who died as a result of the crash in Wilpshire on November 11.
The married father-of-one was pronounced dead in Royal Preston Hospital at 4am last Friday, five days after the accident.
He lived in Schofield Close in Rawtenstall with his mother Rana.
His eldest brother said Mr Rahman was on the verge of opening a new takeaway business with a brother-in-law in Longridge.
Zia Rahman, 35, said: "We have a large family in Rossendale and Mr Rahman was the baby of the family.
"He kept himself to himself and was quite religious.
"We're really going to miss him. He will leave a big hole in all of our lives.
"I think it will be especially hard for his wife and baby boy."
Mr Rahman was a former pupil of St Mary's CE Primary School and Alder Grange Community, Technology School and Sixth Form, both in Rawtenstall.
He leaves behind his wife of almost five years, Yeasmin, 23, and their two-year-old son Zaheer.
An inquest into Mr Rahman's death was opened and adjourned by East Lancashire Coroner Michael Singleton on Tuesday.
He adjourned the inquest so that police could complete their investigations into the crash, and so that another inquest could be held at the same time.
Blackburn man Robert Carson, 35, also died after his Vauxhall Corsa and Mr Rahman's Ford Focus collided head-on at around 10.30pm between the Bulls Head pub and the Wilpshire Hotel in Whalley New Road.

CHESTER Ś The Philadelphia Union have played eight games in the last 30 days. The co-leading scorers over that stretch?
One, of course, is Jack McInerney, MLSÆs leading goalscorer having tallied four times in the span, including markers in both of the U.S. Open Cup games the Union played.
Surprisingly, tied with him is Antoine Hoppenot. Perhaps, then, itÆs no coincidence that the fates of the two diminutive strikers Ś and of the UnionÆs playoff hopes Ś will be intertwined for the next month.
McInerney will find out this week if he is included in the final U.S. MenÆs National Team roster for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the North and Central American championships that would mean heÆd miss most of July. McInerney, who was included in the preliminary 35-man roster released two weeks ago, would be the first active Union player to appear for the Stars and Stripes should he survive the cull to 23 players.
The 20-year-old striker indicated Sunday after the UnionÆs 3-0 win over New York that heÆd be eligible for SaturdayÆs match against Dallas even if selected. But beyond that, someone like Hoppenot could be called upon to play a big role.
So have the changes in role been discussed at all ahead of the Gold Cup reveal?
ōNot even a little bit,ö said Hoppenot after his 89th minute goal put the icing on the cake of the Red Bulls win. ōWe have no idea whatÆs going to happen. If he goes, he goes and weÆll figure it out. We have a bunch of players who are ready to play, and as we showed today, he doesnÆt have to score all the goals. WeÆve got a bunch of players who can put the ball in the back of the net if they get their opportunities. If he stays, thatÆs even better. HeÆs our leading goalscorer, so itÆs great either way.ö
HereÆs where the hypotheticals start to pile up. If McInerney is selected, Hoppenot could be one of the replacements, certainly representing the most like-for-like swap, though some formational changes could alter the equation.
What surely would be missed if McInerney is chosen are goals, and Hoppenot has recently renewed faith that he can provide those. Of his four goals, two came in friendlies with minor-league sides Reading United and Harrisburg City. But he also has his two MLS goals this season in that span Ś a tally against Montreal at the end of May and the Red Bulls goal.
Though he hasnÆt made a start in the league this season, Hoppenot is one of the regulars for the Union (7-5-4, 25 points), making 14 substitute appearances in the teamÆs 16 matches. ItÆs a role that heÆs gotten used to, and one in which the confidence of finding goals in any game situations is vital.
ōA lot of players donÆt have the opportunity to say that, that they know theyÆll pretty much always get an opportunity to play during a game,ö Hoppenot said. ōI enjoy it. Obviously of all the players out there, everybody wants to be a 90-minute player. But for me, a second-year player, still young, itÆs great. ItÆs great to know that I have an opportunity to get to play and show what I can do.ö
SundayÆs goal was his first in front of home fans this season; his previous closest effort was a haunting stoppage-time miss of what couldÆve been the game-winner against Toronto back in April.
The role for Hoppenot this season has often changed. There have been times when heÆs come on for a midfielder and been asked to run the forward line in a 4-3-3. There have been instances where heÆs served as a traditional forward in a 4-4-2. And there have been all manner of small variations in the nebulous tactical cloud between those two.
Hoppenot, who scored four goals in 25 appearances last season, has been a go-to guy for a spark when trailing and desperate to get an equalizing goal. At times, heÆs been called on to salt away a game, on to help hold up possession in lieu of other defensive-minded options on the Union bench.
So with Hoppenot having gained an understanding of the substituteÆs mentality and run the gamut of tactical permutations, all thatÆs left for the 22-year-old is to sit back and await whatever fate his strike partner may Ś or may not Ś receive.
ōWe havenÆt really thought about it yet, and when it happens it happens and weÆll figure it out,ö Hoppenot said. ōItÆs normal. Just nothing different. You canÆt do anything about it because thereÆs nothing to do so youÆve just got to prepare just like any other day.ö

The hybrid floating gate (FG) concept, previously demonstrated in FG capacitors, has been proven in fully integrated stacked memory cells. Results not only confirm the high potential of the concept in terms of improved program performance, but also show excellent data retention and program/erase cycling endurance. Key for achieving this result has been the optimization of the sidewall and spacer processing. Hybrid FG cells are therefore a viable solution to extend the nand Flash memory roadmap below the 20-nm technology node.

Linda Ronstadt through the years
Linda Ronstadt, shown in this 1991 file photo, is singing the praises of teaching young children foreign languages. Ronstadt, whose album "Canciones de Mi Padre" ("Songs of My Father") won a Grammy in 1987, told state education officials in Phoenix Monday, Sept. 30, 1996, that if children aren't exposed to foreign languages early, they may not learn them at all.

The Duke University History of Medicine Collections acquire, preserve, interpret, and make available for research and instruction, materials documenting the history of medicine, biomedical science, health and disease in the global context of the Western medical tradition.
Assembled by the staff of the Duke University Medical Library, the History of Medicine Picture File offers thousands of images of individuals, places, and subjects dating from the 1500s to 2002, with the great majority portraying physicians, scientists, nurses, and other individuals related to the history or practice of medicine. Places featured include hospitals and other institutions of medicine, and scenes related to events in medical history. Subject categories include advertising, anatomy, books, caricature, childbirth, embryology, medical instruments, pediatrics, physicians, and surgery, among many others.
Most of the images measure in size under 10x12 inches, but there are approximately 500 larger pieces. The predominant formats are engravings, lithographs, cartoons, clippings from magazines and newspapers, and modern photographic prints, but there are also albumen photographs and other image formats found throughout the files. Items were acquired by the Duke Medical Library from various sources over many decades and functioned as a vertical file for library students and researchers.
The oversize items range in size from 11x15 to 23x30 inches, and offer a varied assemblage of portraits, caricatures, posters, broadsides, and reproductions of artwork, in black-and-white and in color. Items include portraits and scenes with notable physicians; illustrations of various medical practices, procedures, and instruments; anatomical views, some possibly as early as the 17th century; medical advertisements and promotional literature; depictions of events in medical history in Europe and North America; caricatures; 20th century illustrations for book covers; and many other topics.
Images and prints are often accompanied by reproduction negatives and slides created by Medical Center Library staff. Many of the images in this collection were also scanned by Medical Library staff and are available through the Medical Center Library & Archives

Series contains images of significant anatomists, chemists, physicians, biologists, and other individuals in the field of medicine, arranged alphabetically by last name. Most depict 19th century men, primarily from European nations, particularly Germany, England, France, and Italy, and from North America, but there are also individuals active as early as the 15th century and as late as the 20th century. In many cases there are multiple images of the same individual in the folder.
The predominant formats are engravings, lithographs, modern black-and-white photographs, and printed images (chiefly clippings on glossy paper), but there are other formats present such as albumen prints and negatives. Oftentimes the image is a modern photographic reproduction of an engraving, painting, sculpture, or other work. Images are also often accompanied by a slide or negative reproduction created as far back as the 1960s by Duke University Medical Center Library staff. Sizes range from small prints ranging from 2 x 3 to 10 x 12 inches, to oversize items of up to 23 x 30 inches. The sizes of oversize boxes are given in the container inventory.

I'm a begginer with PlayFramework and I have a few questions about how to put the server to work properly.
I have been reading a few tutorials on how to deploy a Play! app and I decided to use the server that comes with it and lighttpd as reverse proxy. (I want to deploy 2 or 3 apps in the same machine with different domain)
My app is just like a youtube with only two pages, list videos and upload video. Nothing else is done with the app. I use mysql server for the database.
The machine is a VPS with 1024 RAM with Debian, it does not have swap partition.
The URL to the app is proselo.info and it is quite slow.
I've made a test with ab and you can see the results below:

By MARK ALAN LOVEWELL
Thirty years ago, the invention of the electronic fish finder helped fishermen out in their boats find fish. Today's great device, the computer hooked up to the Internet, helps the rest of us find fishermen who know where to find the fish.
The culture of the Internet has helped charter fishing captains just as it has helped a lot of other businesses.
Rick Karney, director of the Martha's Vineyard Shellfish Group, returned last week from an international conference on invasive sea squirts, where he and one of his staff were both speakers and participants.
There has been plenty of discussion on the Vineyard about invasive foreign plants in the Island landscape; offshore, the ocean bottom and the water column are also in a state of change. New plants and animals are taking up residence in coastal waters that may have a long-term impact.
Capt. Wayne Iacono and a number of other Menemsha lobstermen are having a better autumn this year because of the help of a local draggerman, Capt. Craig Coutinho of the fishing boat Viking.
"If it wasn't for Craig we'd all be in trouble," Captain Iacono said.
Important changes came last week in the effort to bring cod back to New England waters.
The New England Fishery Management Council at its meeting in Plymouth established a protective zone for juvenile cod in the Great South Channel.
While it will take up to three years to come up with protective rules for that area, the decision sets aside a portion of open ocean where it is known that undersized fish need to be protected.
The state reopened coastal ponds to shellfishing on Saturday, following a closure due to heavy rains which ended early last week. The state Division of Marine Fisheries had issued the closure to more than 30 Massachusetts towns on Sept. 29, based on the expectation that water quality in coastal ponds would diminish after three days of heavy rains.
Shellfish managers were typically concerned that road runoff would fill the ponds with excessive bacteria.
Another lone fisherman stands in the rocks several
hundred yards away. We can hear the quiet whine of his reel as he casts far out into the setting sun.
The most stressed-out fish of the sea, the false albacore, made an appearance a week ago. They scared the bonito away and now it seems as though both are absentee.
False albacore and bonito are among the fastest swimming fish of these waters from late August to October. They are a finicky warmer weather fish. It is hard to write a sentence about one without mentioning the other in the same paragraph.
But the prevailing northeast winds of the last few days have cut down on a lot of the boat fishing.
The striped bass is fun to catch and good to eat. It's also enigmatic, historically prone to wild fluctuations in numbers and to inexplicable disappearances from area waters. And with the annual Island fishing derby opening Sunday, the old question is being asked again: where are all the fish?
Cooper Gilkes 3rd, an Island fisherman for more than 50 years and the owner of Coop's Bait and Tackle in Edgartown, is concerned, for catch numbers seem to be in sharp decline.
As the farmer brings in the last vegetables, in autumn the lobsterman's season is starting to slow down.
Capt. Paul MacDonald of the lobsterboat Shearwater was putting some of his yellow-wire pots away at the dock at Menemsha Tuesday afternoon. "It was a good season, though I had to work hard to make the same amount of money as last year," the captain said.
There is good and bad news in the stories he and others shared about his past summer.

Do you utilize retreaded tires in your operation? If not, you could stand to save money doing so, says an in-depth look at the issue on Overdrive sister site CCJ.
The stories are tailored to a fleet audience, but Jack Roberts' "Back from the Dead: Using retreads to maximize profitability" articles do offer some insight into the tricky issue of using retreads that can help owner-operators and small fleet owners, too.
For fleets — and potentially owner-operators — not using retreads in a tire program is basically flushing money down a drain, say fleet managers and tire makers quoted in Roberts' articles, which also say that the hesitancy surrounding using retreads is mostly ungrounded, as 75 percent of blown tire parts along highways come from new tires.
Click here to see the first part of Roberts' series, which details the benefits of using retreads and how to start using them. Click here to see the second part, which covers how retread investment can pay off in the long run.

Guns, Germs, And Steel, by Jared Diamond
★★★ and 1/2
Description: Why did Eurasians conquer, displace, or decimate Native Americans, Australians, and Africans, instead of the reverse? In this groundbreaking book, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history's broadest patterns. Here, at last, is a world history's broadest patterns. Here, at last, is a world history that really is a history of all the world's peoples, a unified narrative of human life.
In A Sentence: A fascinating study with a lot of information crammed in
My Thoughts: I've been meaning to read this for years, ever since my anthropology professor mentioned it. I don't usually read non-fiction novels, though; despite the interesting subjects, I get bored with the tedious amounts of information and facts. Hence why this book took me a whole month to read.
This was a really interesting book, however. I love history, particularly ancient history. I also love archaeology and reading about the different societies and culture this world has. This book had it all: history, archaeology, anthropology, and biological anthropology. Jared Diamond made a valid argument regarding why some societies were able to conquer others. Basically, each society had to work with the resources that were available to them; if the plants and animals were easy to domesticate, and the people could benefit from domesticating them, then more often than not events led to domesticated local plants and animals. Domestication led to sedentary lifestyles, which in turn led to massive food production, diseases, and better opportunities for technological advancement. Geography, climate, and how isolated a society was also affected how domesticated plants and animals and technology would spread to other societies. I summed up the book in a few sentences here, but the science and research that led to this conclusion was really interesting. Plus, Jared Diamond doesn't spend a whole lot of time discussing the Europeans and how powerful they were. He instead discusses everyone, including other societies you hardly ever hear about, making this book very well rounded and very interesting.
There was a whole lot of information in the book however. Jared Diamond had to scrunch in about 13,000 years of world history into one book, as well as a lot of scientific and archaeological information. It was all great information, but it made for a very dense read. No wonder it took me so long!
Overall: If you love non-fiction, particularly historical nonfiction, this is a good book for you. If you're studying history in some type of college course, I would recommend this book as a complementary read. It's certainly worth a look, but prepare yourself for a whole lot of info. Jared Diamond does a great job making the facts reader-friendly, but there's still much to sift through. You have been warned.
Guns, Germs and Steel is the iconic 1998 work by Jared Diamond positing so clearly the argument that biogeographical factors are the determinant behind relative rates of progress and success among different human societies. His work argues in the very long-term it is ultimately biogeographic factors that are the ultimate cause of trends in human history. What Diamond has done is spell out effectively the seemingly obvious point that geography impacts a society, its success, and culture, and has advanced that idea into a generalised analysis of human history.
Diamond is in particular an expert on New Guinea. It shows. The work goes into extensive detail on Papuans as an interesting historical experiment to assess his theory. His assertion that Papuans are individually smarter than westerners is of course non-verifiable as it is largely only those with access to higher levels of education in the west that will cross paths with Papuans. Nevertheless it is indicative of the close relationship Diamond has with some of the cultures of Papua, especially the part not under the control of Indonesia.
Diamond begins his march through human history by asking the question from the noble savage - why is it Papuans did not develop the tools to conquer far flung parts of the world. Of course, actually they did. Diamond does not offer this obvious counterpoint but given Papuan peoples managed to claim the lands they now own means they must have been able to do some far-flung conquering of their own, just not on the same scale.
Diamond's answer to the question why some societies developed the tools for global conquest and others not is divided into proximate and ultimate causes. The proximate causes are initially described as Guns, Germs, and Steel. It is a punchy title but not the most accurate and Diamond moves on from it fairly quickly. Guns and Steel in particular are fairly interchangeable as they both represent advanced weapon technology. Through the later stages of the work, Diamond makes greater reference to political organisation rather than just sticking to his catchy trio.
The great example Diamond uses is the mortal blow inflicted on the Aztecs by the Spanish. The Aztecs really should have been able to put up much more of a fight against the Conquistadors but Diamond shows how the proximate factors of weaponry, other technology, and germs were able to wipe out a mighty empire. This example though is merely the step towards explaining the far more interesting assessment of ultimate causes.
Diamond's analysis of ancient history is fascinating. The well-known Fertile Crescent was of course the dawn of civilisation but what Diamond catalogues so well is the range of advantages that location had over everywhere else. The reason civilisation arose first there is because of the set of seeds worth growing. Diamond's analysis of the most productive seed groups suggests the Fertile Crescent was inevitably going to be the site of civilisation's birth. It is fascinating to see some of the tables of productive foods. Fascinating for instance that the British Isles offers just oats. Fascinating because oats remain a staple of British diet thousands of years later.
The idea of civilisation's spread through settled farming is of course obvious. Diamond takes that obvious point and applies it to the whole of human history. He charts the spread of societies and their food package. The spread of foods heads along east-west parallels rather than north-south. It makes complete sense because produce will not grow at different latitudes of temperature, climate, and season. This necessarily implies that transfer of food packages runs most easily across continents as in the spread from the Fertile Crescent to Europe rather than up and down continents as did not happen for instance in all of Africa.
Diamond takes this idea a step further by assessing that there is an east-west effect on technology transfer more generally. This is debatable and Diamond does not really show technology transfer beyond food as having a latitudinal effect. His examples are more of geographic barriers with the Isthmus of Panama and the Sahara Desert both being good reasons technology transferred so slowly or not at all.
Diamond does at times make some bizarre claims such as Neanderthals having made no impact on modern humans. The genetic record suggests otherwise. He also seems to have failed to have accounted for the re-populating of Africa by peoples who had already moved into Asia. Nevertheless his analysis is largely sound.
There is sometimes an agenda behind the analysis. Diamond is particularly keen to point out the failings of race-based theories of societal success. He takes on the most obvious example in the form of Aboriginal Australia. It is the hardest argument for those opposed to racism to make - that somehow the most backward socieities on Earth exist in the form they do next to advanced westernised Australia for reasons other than genetics. Diamond's analysis is effective in describing the ultimate causes. Australia was of course populated much later than the rest of the world and it has a terrible set of native food products. It is only the bringing of temperate food to the most temperate parts of Australia that Europeans have flourished. It is a convincing argument.
Diamond divides his book into four parts. Part One sets up the various theories being explored using examples to show how similar peoples, such as Polynesians on different islands, developed differently based on their biogeography. It is a great start and somewhat awe-inspiring to read it spelled out so clearly. Part two is about food development using examples of the availability of differently productive foods and domesticable animals. Why some types of animals are more domesticable than others of the same family is an area Diamond highlights for future research. As well as offering productivity gains, the animal link is important for Diamond's proximate conquest cause - germs which is a key aspect of part three along with some fairly bland writings about the differences between tribes and bands.
Part four is the conclusion. It is the history of different continents following Diamond's theory. Unfortunately it is by far the weakest part of the book and exposes its major flaws. Diamond took a surprisingly non-Euro-centric approach to explaining the world. For some reason more than half of the world's population is lumped together as Eurasia. The analysis of the rest of the world is not always great. The chapter on why China became Chinese is remarkably limited. The chapter on Africa is fairly good, showing the Bantu expansion as a good case study explaining why the Bantu societies triumphed over Khoisan and Pygmy but could only go as far as their food package could take them.
The chapter on the Americas leaves open the most obvious question. Why did they not develop boats? Polynesians boated to extraordinary lengths yet Meso-Americans failed to develop seafaring capability to navigate along a coastline in ways which could have led to contact between Meso-American and South American states. It is not a particularly difficult thing to do - the Celts of course having moved up from Iberia to the British Isles exactly that way.
Diamond begins to address some of the criticisms of his work in a well-crafted epilogue. This was presumably written after the first publication when the most glaring flaws came to light. In particular he posits a believable theory about why China has not been the dominant force in human history. Frankly China should always be the leading player but has never managed to achieve that position. Diamond offers a new idea not present in his earlier discussion - that societal formation itself is determined by biogeography. Europe is divided into smaller States because of its geography which means more competition for ideas and much less possibilty of turning off progress. China is stilted by its dominance of its own expansive landmass and the centralisation of power in the hands of just one who can turn off progress.
The epilogue argument is fascinating because it develops Diamond's theory to effectively begin identifying that it is geography that determines how a society works. This is now a well-regarded and much used idea which can explain how peoples in different parts of the world can develop similar proclivities because of having the same kinds of terrain. The great martial races of the world are of course all from tough places, mostly mountainous ranges.
There are of course areas for development from Diamond's theory. Most obviously why advanced western socieities stopped trying to conquer the rest of the world after World War II. Equally the role of the individual in history must play some role. Diamond suggests it was inevitable that power would shift from the Fertile Crescent west but that is only an analysis of what happened without it being truly inevitable. Would it really be inevitable that Europe would rise had Sparta not defeated the Persian invasion, or indeed had Sparta later defeated Athens? Would the global system of an international rules-based global order be in place had the Axis powers sued for peace in 1944? Such butterfly effects cannot surely have had no impact on the longue duree.
For all the potential critiques of Diamond's work though it is a fabulous piece. It may be turgid at times with the repitition of phrases and argument but it is a defining work in the now widely accepted notion that the environment shapes the socities that inhabit it, and that the success or failure of societies depend on the resources they can draw from the place in which they live.
Guns, Germs and Steal can best be described as a world history textbook. Instead of being separated,by time period it was organized by geographical location of civilization. This glorified textbook is dreary, incredibly boring and lacks all excitement. That is if not accompanied by note taking or another method to keep the reader awake and more importantly alive, it serves little purpose besides, being educational. The novel was filled with a great amount of information, dates, cultural explanations and historical context. But, this doesn't draw from the fact that it is exclusively read for educational purpose and not one's enjoyment. Unless your purpose is to advance you knowledge in world history, which it excels in, this book is little more than a cure to insomnia.
history, geology, agriculture, civilization, society, religion, evolution, hunter, gatherer, culture, progress, weapons
Jared Diamond has pulled off a startling amalgamation of Bill Bryson's 'Short History of Nearly Everything' and Jacob Bronowski's 'The Ascent of Man'. He writes with great clarity and illuminates a number of turning points while seeking to explain why some societies around the world achieved ascendancy over others.
Diamond's principal hypothesis is that until around 11,000 BC all of the fledgling societies scattered around the globe were on a roughly equal footing, struggling to get by as hunter-gatherers. From that time onwards, different groups started to move towards a more structured mode of agriculture featuring the domestication of livestock and the ability to regulate arable crops. Throughout the book he stops to ask why it was that the European nations colonised Afria, Asia and the Americas, rather than the other way around. Why were those European states able to establish their supremacy?
The dreadful impact of diseases prevalent among Europeans upon the new societies that they encountered throughout the New World and Australasia is well documented. Diamond asserts that some of that contagion was initially contracted from the livestock that formed the basis of their sustaining agriculture. Diamond explores these issues with a mixture of history, archaeology and anthropology, drawing evidence from all around the world.
These are not areas that I know much, if anything, about, and I found Diamond's book completely engrossing. I might question some of his conclusions, but they are all soundly constructed, and liable to provoke lively debate.
In ''Guns, Germs, and Steel,'' an ambitious, highly important book, Jared Diamond asks: How did Pizarro come to be at Cajamarca capturing Atahualpa, instead of Atahualpa in Madrid capturing King Charles I? Why, indeed, did Europeans (and especially western Europeans) and Asians always triumph in their historical conquests of other populations? Why weren't Native Americans, Africans and aboriginal Australians instead the ones who enslaved or exterminated the Europeans?
Jared Diamond has written a book of remarkable scope: a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably, where so many others have failed, in analysing some of the basic workings of cultural process. . . It is willing to simplify and to generalize; and it does reach conclusions, about ultimate as well as proximate causes, that carry great conviction, and that have rarely, perhaps never, been stated so coherently or effectively before. For that reason, and with few reservations, this book may be welcomed as one of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0393061310, Hardcover)Explaining what William McNeill called The Rise of the West has become the central problem in the study of global history. In Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond presents the biologist's answer: geography, demography, and ecological happenstance. Diamond evenhandedly reviews human history on every continent since the Ice Age at a rate that emphasizes only the broadest movements of peoples and ideas. Yet his survey is binocular: one eye has the rather distant vision of the evolutionary biologist, while the other eye--and his heart--belongs to the people of New Guinea, where he has done field work for more than 30 years.

Here, at last, is a world history that really is a history of all the world's peoples, a unified narrative of human life even more intriguing and important than accounts of dinosaurs and glaciers. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world, and its inequalities, came to be. It is a work rich in dramatic revelations that will fascinate readers even as it challenges conventional wisdom.… (more)
