it did win a pulitzer and i'm pretty sure that it does sell fast, but it's not my kind of book. alot of the things that he's talking about are just common sense (like why some islands in the polynesians were home to only a few natives while others were able to support larger populations. really? places that have good soil and hunting grounds make for better living conditions? wow! thanks, man, i never would have figured that out) and he takes twenty pages to explain those things.
i am curious to know what he thinks the answers to the questions at the beginning of the book are, but i'm not willing to spend the Time it takes reading it. I DON'T CARE THAT SOME PLANTS THRIVE IN AREAS WHERE HUMANS USED TO TAKE DUMPS!
all in all, reading brian lumley is alot better than his book.
(although i am kind of interested in reading his other book "collapse")
