Negative Positive
Title: Excellent analysis of how societies evolved and clashed
Review: While some have criticized this book as placing too much emphasis on geography and technology as deterministic forces (as "Fates" suggests in the subtitle), I found Diamond's evidence and argument to be valid: technology and geography have played a role in how different societies developed, and as a result, there were consequences when these societies met and clashed. Very much worth the read.
