great book

If you like scientific non fiction check out Guns, Germs and Steel, a very modern and logical explanation on how the world ended up as we are. Basically explains how man came up in the world and why the cultures of europe and asia took over the world (australia/ pac rim, americas and africa). A little repetitive but i think very important. A book that will leave you thinking afterwards and wondering why the hell no one ever explained the world like that before. Sort of like seeing a wheel and then wondering why it took so long for people to invent such a simple idea.
