ISBN:  9781335936639 (paperback) 1335936637 (paperback) Description:  282 pages : illustrations, map ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Modern humans have come a long way in the seventy thousand years they've walked the earth. Art, science, culture, trade -- on the evolutionary food chain, we're true winners. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing, and sometimes -- just occasionally -- we've managed to truly f*ck things up. Weaving together history, science, politics and pop culture, Phillips offers a panoramic exploration of humankind in all its glory, or lack thereof. From Lucy, our first ancestor, who fell out of a tree and died, to General Zhou Shou of China, who stored gunpowder in his palace before a lantern festival, to the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the most spectacular fails of the present day, this book reveals how even the most mundane mistakes can shift the course of civilization as we know it.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909 Ph Checked In Add Copy to MyList
