GUNS GERMS AND STEEL - DVD Movie Top to learn more
Excellent book yields mediocre documentary
First, if you taped this documentary off of PBS, keep your tape as the "extras" here are little more than a few facts spiffed up graphically over a world map. Diamond's thesis in "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is that geography, which governs climate which, in turn, governs indigenous species, is the reason for the unequal distribution of wealth in the world today. In short, Diamond is focused on why the Europeans conquered so much of the world. There are 3 one-hour episodes in this series. The first is concerned with why agriculture took hold in parts of the world and hints at the benefits it bestowed in developing large, complex societies. The second episode is concerned with how these large complex (European) societies were able to develop weapons (guns and steel) to conquer much of the rest of the world. Germs were an unintended weapon against indigenous people that may have been the most beneficial. The last installment is concerned with another way to...

Fine Overview of Jared Diamond's Ideas, But.....
Jared Diamond, a distinguished professor of physiology and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, has devoted much of his life trying to understand man's impact on nature, through significant, often pioneering, work on bird species diversity in New Guinea, and the extinctions of endemic species of plants and animals in the aftermath of human colonization of the South Pacific by the ancestors of the Melanesians and especially, Polynesians. For this excellent work he has earned numerous accolades, including - if my memory is correct - membership in the National Academy of Sciences. He is also a superb writer and a mesmerizing lecturer; qualities which are shown in ample abundance throughout this National Geographic miniseries devoted to his Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Guns, Germs and Steel". Originally published back in 1997, "Guns, Germs and Steel" posed the interesting hypothesis that Western civilization's preeminence is due to...

Worth watching more for the grains component than for the guns/germs components
Based on Jared M. Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1997 book, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (W.W. Norton & Co., New York, 480 pp., [32] pp. pls.), this July 2005 telecast (also available on DVD) received full and somewhat critical reviews by M. Balter in Science 309: 248-249 (8 July 2005) and by N. Martel in The New York times (11 July 2005). Suffice it to say here, the first episode is the best, and by far the most botanical, dealing with Diamond's controversial ideas on the origins of agriculture and domesticated plants and animals in the Near East and their global latitudinal (rather than longitudinal) spread. Episode 2 is a tad overkill, focusing almost entirely on that fateful November-1532 day when 168 Spaniards killed some 7000 unarmed Incas; smallpox was the cour de grâce for countless Incan survivors of the massacre, who lacked the resistance to the disease many Europeans had. Episode 3 deals with the European and Boer colonization of...

The 1st of Three Key Evangelion Soundtracks
This is "Neon Genesis Evangelion", the first of the three fundamental Eva soundtracks, with 23 tracks and clocking in at 58 minutes (and 2 seconds). This soundtrack covers much of the basic music heard in the beginning of the anime series. An excellent collection. EXCELLENT. The lyrics pamphlet includes thought-invoking words from Director Hideaki Anno, Director of Music Shiro Sagisu, and two Assistant Directors. Shinji and Eva Unit-01 are on the cover. Includes Japanese and English translation lyrics for the long version of Cruel Angel's Thesis, and words to Fly Me to the Moon. The rest are credits. On the back of the case is a scene with Eva-01 walking away from a smoky explosion site. A runthrough of the tracks: #1) A Cruel Angel's Thesis <Director's Edit. Version> -- A longer version of the intro of the anime. It runs through the main verses once, then goes through a bridge, and runs through the main verses once more. #2) Fly...

My new favorite CD
I bought this CD, even though it cost fifty bucks, because Evangelion's music is awesome. The first track, Evangelion's theme song, is the meat & potatoes of the CD. When translated, the song title is "The Thesis of the Cruel Angel". The second track, "Fly Me To the Moon," is hauntingly calm for such a series. The song plays after each episode in the series. It's like the calm after the storm, and before another. The rest of the tracks are instrumental music from the series except for the last one, another remix of "Fly Me To the Moon." The only song which I dislike is track nine, Asuka's theme. It simply does not fit into this CD. This is the music from the first few episodes. My friend and I like listening to the music on this disc and reminicing on when this music was played in the series. Overall, a fine CD. Good beat, great music. Only problem is the price.

Beatiful and greatly done music
Neon Gensis Evangelion Vol. I is my favorite among the set of three main soundtracks, the instrumental music is simply some of the best you'll find on any Anime Soundtrack, it only covers a small portion of the series, but it's definately the best portion. I totally recommend it and, if you can only buy one the Neon Gensis Evangelion albums, this is it.

Priced anywhere between $15-$50, they found a market among serious bloggers, publishing companies, small businesses and so on. Among the premium themes, no theme has perhaps such a mark or gained such popularity as the Thesis Theme , designed by... I bought the Thesis theme for $67, the highest I have ever paid for a WordPress theme. But Thesis set up a huge distance by pricing it way above the average premium theme. Some say that the Thesis theme is a $2 million business. Premium themes, which usually were a notch above the free ones in terms of slickness, support & customization then came into vogue. And what makes the marketing of the theme tick. Most of the themes are free, run of the mill and some, plain fugly. Chris, incidentally has designed several popular free themes including the legendary Cutline. A key component of WordPress’ appeal was the availability of themes – truck loads of them. So, what makes this theme tick. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. A large part of the credit buzz around Thesis should go to the superbly crafted, persuasive copy to sell Thesis.
To that end, simply buying a single stock might not cut it. In a bull market, you want to own as many stocks for which your thesis holds. Think back to tech stocks in the late 1990s: more than just Microsoft (MSFT) or Cisco (CSCO) were advancing.
Hearing these things about a theme park, Brandy wondered how she was ever going to manage possible drug traffickers or illegals or whatever other trouble the airport decided to test her with. Her test came in the form of Jorge Rivera, exotic animal
After the best week in the stock market in years, both in terms of price performance and economic reports, the burden of proof shouldn't be on Saut, but he tells us why the European crisis doesn't derail his bullish thesis in the attached video anyway.
