槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵：人類社會的命運

普立茲得獎作品

為什麼現代社會中的財富和權力的分配，是以今天這種面貌呈現，而非其他形式？為何越過大洋進行殺戮、征服和滅絕的，不是美洲、非洲的土著，而是歐洲人和亞洲人？各族群間的生活差異為何如此之大？對於現代人類、國家間的種種不平等現象，連史學家都存而不論。許多大家熟悉以及想當然耳的答案，在作者的論述中都產生截然不同的意義。本書提出的結論必然會引起爭議，但這只是個開端，引領我們用全新的角度來看世界。

Why has human history unfolded so differently across the globe?

Jared Diamond puts the case that geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. 

An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is a ground-breaking and humane work of popular science.
Jared Diamond is Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. Until recently he was Professor of Physiology at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the widely acclaimed Guns, Germs, and Steel: the Fates of Human Societies, which also is the winner of Britain's 1998 Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize.
