SAPIENS

 "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind"


 Destined to become a modern classic in the vein of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Sapiens is a lively, groundbreaking history of humankind told from a unique perspective. 
     100,000 years ago, at least six species of human inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. 
     Us. 
Homo Sapiens. (Sapiens)
     How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? 
     In Sapiens, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical -- and sometimes devastating -- breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come? (click here to buy)
     Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapienschallenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power...and our future.

मन का पक्षी

मन का पक्षी उड़ा गगन में कभी इधर तो कभी उधर ज़मी से उड़ा था छूने नीले गगन को, भटका वो खूबसूरती को देख उतरा ज़मी पर ना लगा ध्यान उसका फिर से उड़ा फिर भटका, थक हार के आया ज़मी पर ना था उसका कोई एक ठिकाना जाता कहा वो? उसने लिया साहस से काम निकला वो जंगलों के बीच किया इकठ्ठा तिनकों को, दे पसीना-दे पसीना बना डाला अपना एक ठिकाना, अब न भटका अब न रोया क्योंकि था उसका एक ठिकाना मन का पक्षी उड़ा गगन में बिन तनाव, बिन परेशानी।
