Requests:  0 Summary:  "When we talk about human history, we often focus on great leaders, population forces, and decisive wars. But how has the earth itself determined our destiny? Our planet wobbles, driving changes in climate that forced the transition from nomadism to farming. Mountainous terrain led to the development of democracy in Greece. Atmospheric circulation patterns later on shaped the progression of global exploration, colonization, and trade. Even today, voting behavior in the south-east United States ultimately follows the underlying pattern of 75 million-year-old sediments from an ancient sea. Everywhere is the deep imprint of the planetary on the human. From the cultivation of the first crops to the founding of modern states, Origins reveals the breathtaking impact of the earth beneath our feet on the shape of our human civilizations"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.938 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.938 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.938 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.938 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 599.938 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList
