• Book Discussion at County Museum

REDLANDS - The Reading Discoveries book discussion group will meet Wednesday, Jan. 13, at the San Bernardino County Museum to talk about "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond. This discussion will be at 7:30 p.m. and is free to the public. The subtitle of this book has unofficially evolved into 'A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years.' Wide in scope and deep in geography, this book explores how the location, natural resources, and the native species and climate in certain geographic regions led some civilizations to become more profitable, stronger, and more powerful than others around them," said Jolene Redvale, museum curator of education and the group facilitator.

• Pbs Fails to Excite with 'Guns'

Guns, Germs and Steel" is a worthwhile venture and an exhilarating voyage of intellectual discovery. Yet, despite eight years of work across five continents, the three-part PBS special is a lot like the Stone Age food staples of wheat, barley and rice it celebrates: worthy and satisfying, but a little flat. It should not have been so.
