Some of these entries in these sections are more successful than others. She focuses in the first section on classics such as Peter Pan, The Secret Garden and Alice in Wonderland, before a second section on ‘more-recent favourites’ including Watership Down, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The 101 Dalmatians before finally highlighting ‘British favorites for Americans to enjoy’ which includes Greyfriars Bobby, Cider With Rosie and The Railway Children.

Sure, she's King Ben's girlfriend now, and she's usually nice to her classmates, but she still didn't think anyone would be silly enough to try to push her around. ![]() So when she and her friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay all receive threatening messages demanding they return home, Mal can't believe it.

There are other factors, but it's at least a well-written book, and superficially plausible. ![]() Wheat is a better grain than corn, in terms of nutrition supplied per unit effort. Eurasia extends more east-west, and America more north-south, as does Africa. It's easier for a civilization to expand in a roughly east-west direction than a north-south direction, since climate is more similar east-to-west (an example would be the lack of horses in South Africa until imported by sea, since they couldn't go by land through the tse-tse fly zone). Diamond places great importance on diseases in human development, and likens the results of making contact with a more diseased civilization to being digested. This had advantage for animal-powered farming and transportation, as well as infecting the Eurasians with numerous diseases the Americans had no resistance to. In Eurasia, there were several large domesticated animals, including the cow and horse. ![]() It has several explanations for the development of Eurasian civilization rather than American civilization.
