Unabridged Audiobook
Great book giving a fascinating perspective on how globalization evolved over the centuries.
This book gave me a whole new appreciation of world history. I strongly recommend it.
The sequel to the fantastic 1491, this book similarly sports oodles of jaw-dropping facts (for example, earthworms and honeybees aren't native to the Americas? the Chinese population boom was due to central American potatoes?). The amount of research that went into this book must have been dumbfounding since it is thick with information. My only quibble is the incessant, beat-down worthy repetition of "the Columbian Exchange" in the first half of the book.
Once again Charles Mann has wrapped careful scholarship into a fascinating read! This book was a great sequel to 1491. It explains so much about the truly (global) world we live in today. You'll never again eat a humble potato or corn on the cob without thinking about how they, and many other simple things have shaped cultures worldwide.
