    Ok, I'll pick it up.

    I think my biggest gripe is these books always tend to have a Eurocentric perspective. Sure guns are a technical marvel, diseases not so much.

    As for resources, again, it all depends on your desire to utilize them. I mean, South American Indians had no intentions of using gold for the same purpose Iberian, Dutch, and British settlers did.

    I'll grab it though, if for nothing else than to have inanimate discourse to debate with. Cheers, Mimio.
