I agree about Guns, Germs and Steel. Fascinating!

I also enjoyed The Map that Changed the World by Simon Winchester, The Gutenberg Revolution: The Story of a Genius and an Invention That Changed the World by John Man, and a few of Oliver Sacks' books.

I recently had recommended The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. It examines, as I understand it, what changes (and over what time-line) would occur if humans vanished from the earth (virus, etc).
