The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the bestsellers Collapse, and Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond returns to our past in search of a better future in The World Until Yesterday.
Characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining, Diamond draws extensively on his fieldwork in the Pacific Islands, as well as on evidence from many indigenous cultures to highlight the many crucial lessons to be gleaned, life decisions that may help us live longer, healthier lives, enjoy happier old ages, and raise self-confident, autonomous children.
