Description
In "The Human Condition" McNeill provides a provocative interpretation of history as a competition of parasites, both biological and human. In "The Great Frontier" he questions the notion of "frontier freedom" through an examination of European expansion. The concluding essay speculates on the role of catastrophe in our lives.
