books by Jared Diamond     books:     Jared Diamond      The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal (P.S.) Jared M. Diamond Harper Perennial, 2006 Diamond is Brilliant A good read for anyone who's interested in anthropology or evolution. One of Diamond's main points in this book is that humans are not so different from our biological cousins, the apes. In fact, he says, we are more genetically close to chimpanzees than some species ...             Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed Jared Diamond Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005 Read this book. This comprehensive look at humanity's impact on our environments (past and present) is a critical read for everyone alive today. I found it so important that I bought five copies and sent them to family and friends. The first chapter is pretty slow--though I've been ...             Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies Jared Diamond W. W. Norton, 2005 Read entirely before you criticize! I've seen so many critiques and reviews on the internet, from scholars and professional reviewers, that seem like they haven't even read the book. For almost every critique that can be raised, Jared Daimond addresses it in his book already. If you will just read the ...             The Biophilia Hypothesis (A Shearwater book) Island Press, 1995 Wonderful reading This was recommended by a scientist-science teacher-friend and I was simply blown away by the implications. If this theory is correct, then it explains the human descent into madness brought on by increased development without thought.             The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World James F. Clements Cornell University Press, 2007 Essential for serious birders Several years ago I had an epiphany as a bird lover, and stopped keeping my Life List. For several years before that I was an avid bird lister. Clements was always at hand, at home or on the trail or on trips. I still read that well used copy from time to time, filled ...             Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution Of Human Sexuality (Science Masters) Jared Diamond Basic Books, 1998 The evolution of human sex The evolutionist Richard Dawkins once said that he would have written a book on the evolution of sex if Jared Diamond hadn't had done such a good job of it with `Why is Sex fun?' If you are interested in evolution or the evolution of human sexuality then this ...             Guns, Germs and Steel Jared Diamond W W Norton & Co Inc (Np), 2005 Must read This is an excellent book and is a must read for anyone who cares about the history (and reasons why it unfolded the way it did) of the growth of civilization.             1000 Events That Shaped the World National Geographic National Geographic, 2008 False Advertising I pre-ordered this book and received it today under the understanding that Jared Diamond wrote it. Turns out he wrote the (very brief) two-page "introduction", and that appears to be it. I have not had a chance to read much of the book itself yet, but the parts I've ...             Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared/ Gardner, Grover (NRT) Diamond Workman Pub Co, 2001             Armas, germenes y acero/ Guns, Germs and Steel (Historia/ History) (Spanish Edition) Jared Diamond, 2007 Well-done history of the human race for the past 13,000 years Peter D. Tillman (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) How did the West grow rich and conquer the world? It wasn't racial superiority, as the Victorians thought - indeed, Diamond gives evidence that the average New Guinean ...             Ecology and Evolution of Communities (Belknap Press) Martin Cody, Jared Diamond Belknap Press, 1975 In recent times, the science of ecology has been rejuvenated and has moved to a central position in biology. This volume contains eighteen original, major contributions by leaders in the field, all associates of the late Robert MacArthur, whose work has stimulated many of the recent developments in ecology. The intellectual ferment of the field is ...             The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee: Evolution and Human Life Jared M. Diamond Vintage, 1992 Very Informative This is my second book of Jared Diamond after "Guns, Germs and Steel" and without any doubt this is a very informative book. Especially the chapters on human sexuality was very much new to me. Also he convincingly puts the case of conservation of environment. In fact, ...             Guns, Germs, and Steel: Library Edition Jared Diamond Playaway, 2006             The Birds of Northern Melanesia: Speciation, Ecology, and Biogeography Ernst Mayr, Jared Diamond Oxford University Press, USA, 2001 Speciation is the process by which co-existing daughter species evolve from one ancestral species - e.g., humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas arising from a common ancestor around 5,000,000 years ago. However, many questions about speciation remain controversial. The Birds of Northern Melanesia provides by far the most comprehensive study yet ...          products you might be interested in search for books biogeography, chimpanzee, communities, hypothesis, shearwater, speciation      geepe.com    web randomly chosen pc & video games: Roller Coaster Tycoon (Windows)
