Jared Mason Diamond is een Amerikaanse wetenschapper, historicus en auteur, bekend om zijn populaire boeken over wetenschap en geschiedenis.
Opgeleid in biochemie en fysiologie, wordt Diamond beschouwd als een polymath vanwege zijn expertise in verschillende vakgebieden, waaronder antropologie, ecologie, geografie en evolutionaire biologie.
Momenteel is hij professor geografie aan UCLA. Diamonds interdisciplinaire benadering van het begrijpen van de menselijke geschiedenis en ontwikkeling heeft hem erkenning opgeleverd als een van de grootste publieke intellectuelen ter wereld.
Zijn werk verkent vaak de kruispunten van biologie, geografie en culturele evolutie om patronen in menselijke samenlevingen en hun ontwikkeling door de tijd heen te verklaren.

This site is a total game-changer. I've been flying through book summaries like never before. Highly, highly recommend.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

— Em

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
