Guns Germs & Steel: The Show. Overview | PBS - 0 views

  • Inspired by a question put to him on the island of Papua New Guinea more than thirty years ago, Diamond embarks on a world-wide quest to understand the roots of global inequality.
    • Jeanne Cousineau
       
      These are some of the main questions Diamond answers in his book, Guns, Germs, and Steel. He theorizes that due to the east-west axis of Asia/ Europe (which would include its favorable climate, terrain, and ease of sharing and borrowing technology), the availability of domesticable plants and animals, to name a few, this area had all the right ingredients to be successful, as opposed to the Americas/Africa. The latter had few domesticable animals, a north-south axis, and a difficult terrain for "sharing", to name a few. We will all need to dive further into his book and these sites to uncover all of the necessities that helped some succeed over others.

    i see your bookmarks in diigo, nicely done! now incorporate the things you bookmarked into a post with links directly to the source urls, not to diigo. (Think of diigo as our shared library where we keep/organize all our links, tagged so we can find them later easily if we want.) in your post link to the source url, on which will be your diigo comments, highlights, and stickies making your post 100% richer. (view all bookmarks and then you can see the list of bookmark tags. Also, what do you thing of tagging things with "module 1" and so on so you can isolate all the resources you bookmark in the course by course module? Think about what will make the tool useful to you today and tomorrow, and what will make it useful to the rest of us in the course. I am very interested in exploring the potential of this tool with your help and in having you tests its features and functionality and push the limits as we kick its tires.
