Synopsis
#1 New York Times Bestseller * New York Times Readers' Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century * The Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama and Bill Gates Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. From renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution--a #1 international bestseller--that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human." One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem., Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. #1 New York Times Bestseller The Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, now available as a beautifully packaged paperback From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution--a #1 international bestseller--that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."

- a***a (390)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI order from this seller often. This seller is very reliable. There are other sellers that offer the same kind of discount deals as this one, but they are not as reliable. This seller always delivers without letting me down. The items (I order mostly DVDs) are always sent complete, as described, and securely packaged. My only gripe is, packages take on average 2 weeks to arrive. However, I'll accept that, over bad service any day. I recommend this seller.
- 2***4 (174)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSeller shipped out the DVD miniseries called THE KENNEDY'S to me very quickly and it arrived earlier than listed and well wrapped up for the journey. They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.The Kennedys (Nr. 187493404678)
- m***8 (76)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe classic Curious George DVD I ordered arrived in great condition and as described in the description. The disc was dirty and appeared to be scratched but it played just fine. I received a good quality product at a great price. This seller, Dream Books Co., shipped quickly and took care in the packaging. I bought a lot of DVDs from this seller and they handled a large purchase very well; I'm not missing anything. I'm happy with my purchase so far. I will buy from Dream Books in the future.
