Title: Now this is my kind of technical book!
Review: I have never reviewed a book before, but wanted to put my 2 cents in for this one. Being a voracious reader, but little more than a high school education, it was a pleasure to read a scientific book that I could understand. Archeology and paleontology has always fascinated me but most books on these subjects leave a lot of unanswered questions. "Guns, Germs and Steel" has answered some of them. I have underlined sentances, written in the margins, made lists of more questions. The origin of cultures, yes, even races, languages and technology are all addressed in this book. Now I know where we have been and can catch a glimmer of where we might be going. For us lay persons, this book turns technicalese into plain, understanable english.
Is the review positive or negative?
