1.Guns, Germs, And Steel: The Fates Of Human SocietiesGuns, Germs, And Steel: The Fates Of Human Societies
from Turtleback
Price: $23.22

Customer Review:
What can I say about this book that has not been written already? It seams the author has a view then went out to write a book that proves this view. Interesting ideas but there is not one chapter that would prove his theory wrong. I find that odd that everything points to him being right.

from Harper
Price: $10.97

Customer Review:
I got this book for my dad because he always knows random stuff and he loves watching the history channel. He's not a huge reader but he really liked this book. It's perfect because the stories are pretty short and to the point so it's not too much reading about each story.

Customer Review:
I just finished this book and enjoyed reading it EXCEPT when the author's very distinct anti-german sentiments come out in full force.
