Join us for a thought-provoking afternoon with Jared Diamond, devoted conservationist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel. Diamond draws on four decades of fieldwork in the Pacific Islands for his latest book, The World Until Yesterday, in which he asks what might we learn from “traditional” societies that could improve our way of life and the world in which we live.
"I've set myself the modest task of trying to explain the broad pattern of human history, on all the continents, for the last 13,000 years."
