The author is a famous American scientist. The New York Times called him «The Dan Brown of Nonfiction.» The book won the Pulitzer Prize in the category of non-fiction prose.
Why do Eurasian civilizations occupy a dominant position in the modern world?
Why did the European and later Euro-Atlantic civilization achieve the greatest successes in the history of mankind?
Why exactly Europe, first independently and later together with the United States of America, created the world in which we live now?
What predetermined the global hegemony of the European worldview — industry, force of arms, or something else?
And what influence does the environment have on the worldview of not only an individual person, but also entire nations and even races?
All this and much more is discussed in his audiobook by Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
