1.[no image]Guns, Germs & Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
from W W Norton & Co Inc (Np)

Customer Review:
I know everyone says this - just adding my voice.
The author needs to define his terms - what does he mean by 'smart' when talking about the New Guineans. What does he mean by calling Australia 'backwards'? I wish he developed these vague/biased terms.

2.The World Without UsThe World Without Us
from Picador
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Alan Weisman's book is an extension of a previous essay article, and unfortunately, that is how it often reads. The chapters (and sections within chapters) jump from subject to subject and through different time lines without real feeling for order or reason. The statements he makes are backed up by... more info

3.Who s Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your LifeWho's Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life
from Basic Books
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
Read the charts of statistics in the back of the book, but skip the actual text. Unlike some other statisticians who employed co-writers ("Freakonomics" comes to mind), Richard Florida couldn't keep my mind on his prose. Statistics are recycled and explained over and over. Yes, every city has a... more info

from NYRB Classics
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
I learned so much from this book. When I purchased it, I thought it might be like an annotated dictionary of sorts -- perhaps in alphabetical order, so that I could look up Topeka or New York. But it's not like that at all. The author starts with the blank canvas of the American landscape, before... more info

Well written, definitely some criticisms of Davis's style, but it is accessible and raises a lot of questions about personal responsibility, lifestyle choices, and hazards geography.

from Basic Books

Customer Review:
Although somewhat dry, this is a great book that delineates the world's hotspots and America's role in it. It does a good job summarizing the modern history of these regions and the relationships which the US must engage in order to maintain it's global leadership.

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Well, again, a book documenting human destruction being visited upon mother earth, but one that takes a cultural perspective based in anthropology. It seem that in this case, Thom understood he'd be preaching to the choir, and so he decided to focus on a good, inspiring sermon (at least in the... more info
