1.		Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies from W. W. Norton Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Diamond traces the spread of human culture, language, and empire-building across the globe in terms of "geographic determinism"--a pejorative term he deplores: ". . .

2.		Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $12.24 Customer Review: Not quite as good as his best-known book, "Guns, Germs and Steel", mostly because the first 50 pages are about Montana.

7.		The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World from Cornell University Press Price: $47.00 Customer Review: Several years ago I had an epiphany as a bird lover, and stopped keeping my Life List.
