Guns,Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies | Summary

Summary Station

Jared Diamond says that 25 years ago he met a politician in what is now Papua New Guinea, Yali, who asked why white people had so many things, but black people did not.

The book attempts to provide answers to the question: Why have Eurasian people been the dominant wealth and power in the world? That is, why didn't other cultures gain dominance before 1, 500 C E? After all, until the end of the most recent Ice Age, circa 11, 000 B C E, all humans were hunter-gatherers. So, what accounts for the different rates of development of societies between 11, 000 B C E and 1500 C E?

Those questions are the subject of the book. The author says that finding reasons or causes for the unequal distribution of wealth and goods does not justify it. Diamond says we do not justify disease just because we understand its causes. He says that the foundations of European societies were developed in other part of the world, so the focus is not on aggrandizing Europe.

Nam Le on David Malouf: Writers on Writers

Nam Le

Here was a very-much-alive half-Lebanese writer (from provincial Brisbane, no less) producing English-language writing of the very first order. . . .  

The poetry was in the prose; it stayed and sprung its rhythms, chorded its ideas, concentrated its images. Every other novel claims to be written in 'poetic prose'; the real thing, when you come across it, is actually shocking.   

Nam Le takes the listener on a thrilling intellectual ride in this sharp, bold essay. Encompassing identity politics, metaphysics, the relationship between life and art, and the ' Australianness' of Malouf's work, it is unlike anything else written about one of Australia's most acclaimed writers.  

In the Writers on Writers series, leading writers reflect on another Australian writer who has inspired and fascinated them. Provocative and crisp, these books start a fresh conversation between past and present, shed new light on the craft of writing and introduce some intriguing and talented authors and their work.

Christos Tsiolkas on Patrick White

Christos Tsiolkas

Christos Tsiolkas spent a year of 'discovery and rediscovery' reading Patrick White. In this passionate and original book, he shows how the Nobel Prize winner's work still speaks to us.
