In Guns, Germs and Steel we explore some of the most pivotal moments in world history in intimate detail to reveal the agents of inequality, the weapons, writing, and diseases that time and again gave agricultural communities the upper hand. More startling still, we explore how in the age of the Internet and global travel, when boundaries everywhere are coming down, geography can still affect how societies develop
