Guns, Germs, and Steel OverviewStarting with the dawn of humanity and our spread out of Africa, Jared Diamond explains how the environmental, geographical, and ecological differences that were endemic to specific parts of the world led to differences in the development of the peoples in those parts of the world. This exhaustive tome leaves no stone unturned as Diamond searches for the answers to questions that have been asked time and again throughout history.Sapiens OverviewYuval Noah Harari’s detailed, precise, and in-depth look at the history of evolution and humanity offers a new perspective on how we came to be the humans and societies that we are today. Following the paths of Homo sapien from his African beginnings, across oceans and continents, Harari’s analysis leaves no stone unturned. Homo Deus OverviewHarari predicts a technocratic dystopia that some may find harrowing, and others exciting. Skeptics who think a world in which data rules the universe could be anything other than science fiction will be challenged, and potentially persuaded by Harari’s arguments. This book will shake the reader’s world view and prompt one to not only re-consider her relationship with technology, but also to think critically about narratives of human history. Hue 1968 OverviewIn this work from the author of "Black Hawk Down," Mark Bowden talks about the war in Vietnam, especially the 23 day Battle of Hue. A very carefully and interestingly written book, "Hue 1968" stirs the imagination of any reader and nostalgically places you in the battlefields of Hue from the perspective of the locals, the fighters on all sides, the visitors, and the media. The Warmth of Other Suns OverviewThe Warmth of Other Suns is a re-telling of The Great Migration, in which six million black southerners migrated to the northern and western regions of the United States in the eight decades between World War I and 1970. This massive true-life tale is anchored in the lives of three real-life figures, Ida Mae Brandon Gladney, George Swanson Starling, and Robert Pershing Foster, who originated from different southern towns and migrated to different urban cities of the North at different times. PLEASE NOTE: This is a collection of summaries, analyses, and reviews of the books, and not the original books.
