“@MiaFarrow One of the classic nonfictions is Rats, Lice, and History, by Hans Zinnser. Guns, Germs and Steel also does pandemics, as does 1491: about what the Americas were like before (and during) the wipeout caused by European microbes + viruses. | @MiaFarrow One of the classic nonfictions is Rats, Lice, and History, by Hans Zinnser.

Guns Germs and Steel is an amazing book. Thanks for the idea! | A brilliant Pulitzer Prizewinning book about how the modern world was formed, analyzing how societies developed differently on different continents. I like how this is written from a biologist’s point of view rather than purely based on history or anthropology. | Fascinating. Lays a foundation for understanding human history. | Gave a big eye opening on why certain people of the world are more advanced than others and behave a certain way, as opposed to just genetics and this person is smarter because of this or that. | Helped rid me of the nagging incompleteness in my understood connection between the successes and failings of ancient and modern civilizations. | I?m a fan of books that challenge our assumptions, and Diamond offers us a new and remarkably simple way of looking at our world. Learning to challenge existing assumptions is core to effective leadership for it trains us to keep an open mind. | I’m a fan of books that challenge our assumptions, and Diamond offers us a new and remarkably simple way of looking at our world.
