I think there were better sources for some of this information, although it was nice to find so much of it in one source. The author repeats himself a good deal, and kind of hammers some points into the ground. It did answer a lot of my personal questions about the spread of disease and some agricultural concerns as far as development and so forth. Overall worthwhile read, though in my opinion not terribly engaging.

I am VERY late to this party, but so glad I got around to this wondrous book. When I mention to friends that I have "read" (actually, I listened to the audio) it, they invariable recite a favorite fact, pause and contemplate, and perhaps add another fact to contemplate. To never cease to be amazed by the universe, this is the ecstatic pleasure of education. ...more

Well constructed agruement and he answers the criticisms well. Lot's of interesting history inside for the casual reader too. ...more
