Why the West rules--for now : the patterns of history, and what they reveal about the future / Ian Morris.

Morris, Ian, 1960- (Author).

Summary:

Archaeologist and historian Ian Morris explains that Western dominance is largely the result of the effects of geography on the everyday efforts of ordinary people as they deal with crises of resources, disease, migration, and climate. As geography and human ingenuity continue to interact, however, the world over the next hundred years will subsequently change in astonishing ways, transforming Western rule in the process.
