Awesome and well read


(5 stars)

Unfortunatly it jumps to the incorrect conclusion. it is therefore racist

Interesting Book...


(4 stars)

...most of the ideas come out towards the beginning and end of the book.... in between is a lot of dry statistics. the Reader has a pleasant voice and does a good job.

Civilization and Climate


(2 stars)

The title suggests a discussion of the effects of climate changes on civilizations. Unfortunately it is mostly a conglomeration of racist and eugenic prejudices with little supporting evidence.
