    January 19, 2009: My favorite chapter in this book was Collision at Cajamarca, because it
    described a historical incident I have always been interested in. I think
    this book is for anyone of any age with a genuine interest of how things
    came to be. I like how Jared Diamond weaves a tapestry with the different
    pieces of the puzzle that is human geography. All in all I really liked
    this book, although I was sometimes zoned out by the long paragraphs
    concerning bird watching, I thought it had a genuinely interesting concept.

    I Also Recommend: The Cultural Landscape.
