Natural Experiments of History by Jared Diamond
Some central questions in the natural and social sciences can't be answered by controlled laboratory experiments. This title consists of eight comparative studies drawn from history, archeology, economics, economic history, geography, and political science that cover a spectrum of approaches, ranging from a non-quantitative narrative style.
Natural Experiments of History is a short book packed with huge ideasIts collected essays advocate how controlled experiments can be applied to the messy realities of human history, politics, culture, economics and the environment. It demonstrates productive interdisciplinary collaborations but also reveals gulfs between different cultures of academia...All of the essays in Natural Experiments of History will trigger debate. -- Jon Christensen Nature 20100325
