Ian Morris is a great writer and written many books on history and war. His well known book called "Why The West Rules-For Now" is chock full of maps and facts to the patterns of Easy vs West in world history. Morris goes way back to original human migration patterns out of Africa and the eventual geographic differences between man and is development from one another. Morris goes through several stages of humanity and ponders why certain sales of development were stronger in different eras for different peoples. MMorris seems obsessed in this writing with why it was the West that colonized and not the other way around and his book is full of historical facts and encounters with different civilizations and there are many what ifs in his account of history. Ian basically writes a world history book with a slant comparing Europe with China through many historical stages of empires. He proposes to why the West has been dominate for centuries and why this can come to amend quickly in the upcoming decades as human patterns suggest a geographical switching that has been seen often n history. No one region dominates forever and empires switch and are often replaced by new rulers and leaders. Eventually though it is basically a battle for resources and whoever has access to the Earths last remaining fossil fuels will maintain the longest industrial power and eventually that too will be gone. The world will look more like the events and armies of the past that Morris world returns to traditional ways or we just perish in a eco disaster that will erase all tis obsessive data and crap that Ism Morris mentions in this book. Cockroaches and cicadas will inherit the earth and this is a time I look forward too for the planet.
