Krise
Krise: Wie Nationen an Herausforderungen wachsen und Hoffnung für die Zukunft schaffenIn seinem bisher persönlichsten Buch zeigt der Pulitzer-Preisträger Jared Diamond, wie Nationen erfolgreich mit den gegenwärtigen Krisen wie Klimawandel, sozialer Ungleichheit und gesellschaftlicher Polarisierungumgehen können. Anhand historischer Beispiele wie der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte, Chiles Umgang mit der Diktatur Pinochets und Japans erzwungener ökonomischer Öffnung 1853 zeichnet er die Muster nach, wie sich Staaten von tiefgreifenden Erschütterungen erholen.Diamond verdeutlicht, dass bei der Bewältigung nationaler Krisen ähnliche Faktoren entscheidend sind wie beim Umgang mit individuellen Traumatisierungen: sich der Krise bewusst werden, ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme statt Opferrolle, Probleme eingrenzen, Hilfe annehmen und aus den Erfahrungen anderer lernen. Es gilt, sich zu verändern, ohne die eigene Identität zu verlieren.Diamond erklärt, wie Nationen an Herausforderungen wachsen und neue Wege in die Zukunft finden können. Nach den Bestsellern 'Arm und Reich' und 'Kollaps' liefert Diamond erneut wertvolle Denkanstöße für den Umgang mit den drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit.

Insan Cinselliginin Evrimi
Insan cinselligi bize normal görünse de diger hayvanlarin standartlarina göre oldukca tuhaftir.

Guns, Germs, and Steel
Why did Eurasians conquer, displace, or decimate Native Americans, Australians, and Africans, instead of the reverse? In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, a classic of our time, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond dismantles racist theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for its broadest patterns. The story begins 13,000 years ago, when Stone Age hunter-gatherers constituted the entire human population. Around that time, the developmental paths of human societies on different continents began to diverge greatly. Early domestication of wild plants and animals in the Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica, the Andes, and other areas gave peoples of those regions a head start at a new way of life. But the localized origins of farming and herding proved to be only part of the explanation for their differing fates. The unequal rates at which food production spread from those initial centers were influenced by other features of climate and geography, including the disparate sizes, locations, and even shapes of the continents. Only societies that moved away from the hunter-gatherer stage went on to develop writing, technology, government, and organized religions as well as deadly germs and potent weapons of war. It was those societies, adventuring on sea and land, that invaded others, decimating native inhabitants through slaughter and the spread of disease. A major landmark in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way in which the modern world, and its inequalities, came to be.

Armas, Germenes Y Acero / Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Hace trece mil anos la evolucion de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzo a tomar rumbos diferentes. La domesticacion de los animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en China, Mesoamerica y otras zonas geograficas otorgaron una ventaja inicial a los habitantes de esas regiones.Sin embargo, los origenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganaderia son solo parte de la explicacion de los diferentes destinos de los pueblos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con mas posibilidades para desarrollar la escritura, la tecnologia o las estructuras politicas; ademas de sobrevivir a germenes nocivos y crear poderosas armas belicas.En este libro, el profesor Jared Diamond demuestra que la diversidad cultural hunde sus raices en las diferencias geograficas, ecologicas y territoriales ligadas a cada caso concreto, y analiza como evoluciono la humanidad y por que unos pueblos avanzaron hacia la civilizacion mientras que otros se quedaron estancados.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Fascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history."Bill GatesIn this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal.

The Third Chimpanzee
The Third Chimpanzee was first published in 1991 and has been in print ever since. This new, illustrated edition is aimed at a young readership. In it, Jared Diamond explores what makes us human and poses fascinating questions.If we share more than 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, how is it that we can write, read, talk, build telescopes and bombs, while we put our speechless and bomb-less close relatives in cages and zoos?What can woodpeckers teach us about spacecraft?Is genocide a human invention?Why does extinction matter?Why are we destroying the natural resources on which we depend for survival?What hope is there for future generations? Not only is The Third Chimpanzee a mind-boggling survey of how we came to be, but it is also a plea to the next generation to "make better decisions than their parents and get us out of the mess we're in."

Why Is Sex Fun?
A fascinating insight into how human sexuality came to be the way it is now - Jared Diamond explains why we are different from the animal kingdom.Why are humans one of the few species to have sex in private? Why do humans have sex any day of the month or year, including when the female is pregnant, beyond her reproductive years, or between her fertile cycles? Why are human females one of the few mammals to go through menopause?Human sexuality seems normal to us but it is bizarre by the standards of other animals. Jared Diamond argues that our strange sex lives were as crucial to our rise to human status as were our large brains. He also describes the battle of the sexes in the human and animal world over parental care, and why sex differences in the genetic value of parental care provide a biological basis for the all-too-familiar different attitudes of men and women towards extramarital sex.

The Third Chimpanzee for Young People
At some point during the last 100,000 years, humans began exhibiting traits and behavior that distinguished us from other animals, eventually creating language, art, religion, bicycles, spacecraft, and nuclear weapons—all within a heartbeat of evolutionary time. Now, faced with the threat of nuclear weapons and the effects of climate change, it seems our innate tendencies for violence and invention have led us to a crucial fork in our road. Where did these traits come from? Are they part of our species immutable destiny? Or is there hope for our species’ future if we change? With fascinating facts and his unparalleled readability, Diamond intended his book to improve the world that today’s young people will inherit. Triangle Square’s The Third Chimpanzee for Young People is a book for future generation and the future they’ll help build.

Vermächtnis
Noch heute leben zahlreiche Stämme als Jäger und Sammler in unzugänglichen Teilen der Welt. Jared Diamond, Professor für Geographie und international erfolgreicher Bestsellerautor, kennt sie aus vielen Expeditionen, die er in den letzten Jahrzehnten geleitet hat. In seinem neuen Buch entfaltet er den ganzen Reichtum ihrer verblüffend anderen Lebensweise und zeigt anschaulich, was wir heute von ihnen lernen können. Eine überraschende und unterhaltsame Lektion über die Vielfalt der Kulturen - und eine Kritik unseres modernen Selbstverständnisses.»Jared Diamond schreibt mit Witz, Esprit und großem Sachverstand.«Die Welt»Die Zivilisation hat uns reich, satt und bequem gemacht, aber nicht rundum zufrieden. Jared Diamond hilft uns zu erkennen, woran das liegt. Und nicht nur das: Er sagt uns auch, was wir besser machen können. Vorbilder gibt es genug, von Afrika bis Neuguinea.«Stern»Eine Fundgrube und ein Gedankenanreger ohnegleichen.«Financial Times Deutschland»Auf Diamond passt das überstrapazierte Wort vom Universalgelehrten genau, dazu gehört auch, dass er Autodidakt geblieben ist, um Wissenslücken bald zu schließen, wenn die sich neu öffneten. Er ist die Lernfähigkeit selbst.«Die Zeit»Wichtige Einsichten in unser traditionelles wie modernes Menschsein.«Der Tagesspiegel
