TGBC: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond

  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Good Book Club podcast where we make all our book club meetings and bonus events available for listeners to enjoy. This episode features our bookclub discussion of "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond. In this groundbreaking book, the author convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. You won't look at the world in the same way after reading this book. Our bookclub meeting was originally held on Sunday, April 14th, 2024.
