I recently started to read a real interesting book called Guns, Germs and Steel. I haven’t had a good chance to really dive into it yet, but so far it looks like its going to be really good. The premise of the book is the search for an answer to the following question—why did some civilizations in history advance politically, scientifically, and militarily while other civilizations were left in a literal stone age. It explores the origin of modern man and the factors and influences that would have led to these disparities and the subsequent conquering of less advanced civilizations by more modern. The most dramatic example perhaps being the conquering of the Americas by a vastly superior (at least in terms of technology and military) European race.
Hopefully the book doesn’t get too textbook on me, so far it hasn’t. I’ll let you know if it is worth reading when I’m finished.

Was it worth the read, Jake? I'm a voracious reader and may see if the public library has a copy if you recommend it. Sounds interesting.

ReplyDeleteThe aromatic nature of the polymer backbone differentiates aromatic polyamides from aliphatic polyamides (Aramids polymers). The aromatic structure of the main chain of the aramids plays an important role in providing certain special characteristics, which are oxidative stability, higher solvent resistant, as well as superior thermal and mechanical properties, hence they are also classified as high-performance polyaramide materials.
