In The World until Yesterday (Penguin), Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, takes us on a mesmerizing journey into our rapidly vanishing past. Utilizing decades of fieldwork in the Pacific Islands, as well as evidence from many other cultures, Diamond explores how traditional peoples approach universal problems and discovers that we have much to learn from these cultures. Please note: Tickets for this event, $28, include admission and a copy of The World until Yesterday and are available at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts box office, all TicketsWest outlets, online at Portland5.com, or by phone at 800.273.1530. Books will be distributed at the event.
