Having done field work in New Guinea for more than 30 years, Jared Diamond presents the geographical and ecological factors that have shaped the modern world. From the viewpoint of an evolutionary biologist, he highlights the broadest movements both literal and conceptual on every continent since the Ice Age, and examines societal advances such as writing, religion, government, and technology.

Historia
It’s a belief that unites the left and right, psychologists and philosophers, writers and historians. It drives the headlines that surround us and the laws that touch our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Dawkins, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we’re taught, are by nature selfish and governed by self-interest.

Historia
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Should be compulsory book in 4th grade highschool
Revisado: 10-26-19
An incredible book on "everything", so full of cases/explanations and historical facts, sometimes somewhat overwhelming.
Yuval is not satisfied with superficial historical opinions most people promote (elementary school) .
No "nice" historical stories most countries have, so people can go to sleep at night, but the naked.. in some cases afwull truth .
Lessons for the future? That is a difficult one- but start with accepting the reality "as is"- not too many legends and myths !
Doing good outside legends is often not spectacular and not rewarding, but essential.
However suppose we cannot do without them.

Revisado: 09-03-18
This book is really, really important . I am glad, that James Comey decided to write a book from the center of power.
In some way despite having prosecuted criminals and being head of the FBI, I find him somewhat naive.
Perhaps because he is American he has a strong believe, that in the end the good will prevail..
Sometimes it does, but even it is the case in the process good people, like himself, get damaged (or worse).
I suddenly was reminded to the song of the band Foreigner "the Damage is done" although about a relationship... Comey could know immediately after his commander in chief demanded "personal loyalty" there was no way back.
He was caught in a sink-hole.
Comey succeeded in making clear how high the standards and morality are in the US justice-world and even more in the FBI. For me that was an eye-opener.
Remaining central question is, that how it is possible that in the democratic process,sometimes the totally in-equiped person finally gets the job ....and the power.
Expecting that the fourth power- the civil servants and justice people- and the free press will save the day could be an illusion.The guy at the top has four years to hire his own people.
I enjoyed this book very much.The desciption of Comey on how meetings progressed is worrrysome.
The highly educated and trained people were there only as an audience and to confirm , that what was being said by the chairman was correct, clever, intelligent etc.
I congratulate Comey with this book.
Positive is, that a person who otherwise would be silent has now spoken.

Historia
In dit luisterboek zal Maarten van Buuren spreken over zes beroemde romans waarin overspelige vrouwen centraal staan. Hij plaatst de schrijvers en hun romans in een cultuurhistorisch perspectief. Tijden veranderen, de mens blijft hetzelfde, maar de romanpersonages laten zien dat zij zichzelf telkens anders definiëren. Hun zelfbeeld en de manier waarop ze hun eigen karakter zien, wordt wel degelijk bepaald door o.a. de conventies van de tijd waarin zij leven.
