https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm A non-fiction research book debating why societies are the way they are. en-us 2017-01-24 04:22:47 UTC 2025-10-19 10:48:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png brandenal6 https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915308 I noticed that Diamond enjoyed using and pointing out the geography of where civilizations developed. Diamond uses it so well, in fact, he is able to support his argument alone with this. Diamond is able to explain and elaborate about what type of animals that were domestic to a civilization, what type of plants, the rainfall, access to other civilizations, and raw resources to only further support his thesis.]]> 2017-01-24 04:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915308 brandenal6 https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915529 I gave this book a 9/10 because it is able to expertly define why some peoples are more successful than others, not only in a specific time period but throughout the development of these peoples. Anyone looking for an amazing non-fiction book that uses facts and secondary documents coincided with stories should read this book. There is nearly nothing too bad to say about it, except I do with it would continue with the development of civilizations past our time period, giving almost a prediction based on what we are and where we are headed.]]> 2017-01-24 04:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915529 brandenal6 https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915714 The ending of this book is nothing more than a conclusion of a research paper. Diamond is able to get his point across and simply puts it that way. Diamond almost concludes abruptly, which is quite disappointing as I would love to have read more about the future development of civilizations.]]> 2017-01-24 04:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915714 brandenal6 https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915831 If I could add one more chapter to this book (I bet you could guess) it would be the further development of civilizations and peoples. Surely there is enough of this matter to be written about and Diamond does such a fantastic job evaluating history that I would really enjoy reading about Diamond predicting what the future of various peoples would look like, along with their societies.]]> 2017-01-24 04:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148915831 brandenal6 https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148916092 2017-01-24 04:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brandenal6/rku1t0s9rppm/wish/148916092
