Guns Germs & Steel The Fates of Human Societies
by

Diamond traces the history of human settlements around the world and why some succeeded and others didn't. His evidence is a fascinating mix of language studies and archeological evidence. Not a book you finish in one reading.

Not much different than today although so many of these small towns have declined to almost nothing as people relocate to bigger towns and the large stores gather up the business.
