This is basically "Guns, Germs, and Steel"-lite. A nice Cliff Notes-like version which is good for getting the gist of the connections without going into what may be too much depth or detail for the casual reader.
It's a nice freebie. But if you got this or this week's other FT Press offerings from B&N early in the morning, you might want to check your receipts, as they had the website glitch where it showed a free price and then charged the full for some of their $0.00 titles.
