A "New York Times" Bestseller
An "Economist" Best Book of the Year
A story fifty thousand years in the making, "Why the West Rules--for Now" claims a place among the modern classics of world history. Author Ian Morris--polymath, internationally renowned scholar, and "the world's most talented ancient historian" (Niall Ferguson)--explains anew the story of Western dominance in this unified theory of all things geopolitical. Describing the patterns of human history, Morris brings together the latest findings across disciplines--from ancient history to neuroscience--not only to explain why the West came to rule the world but also to predict what the next hundred years will bring. At once vibrant, scholarly, and entertaining, "Why the West Rules--for Now" is "a stunningly informative, imaginative, and engaging account...provocative...and intellectually stimulating" (Glenn C. Altschuler, "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"). Less
