In his million-copy bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, JaredDiamond examined how and why Western civilizations developed thetechnologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much ofthe world. Now in this brilliant companion volume, Diamond probesthe other side of the equation: What caused some of the greatcivilizations of the past to collapse into ruin, and what can welearn from their fates?
As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond weaves anall-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinatinghistorical-cultural narratives. Moving from the Polynesian cultureson Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of theAnasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony onGreenland, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe.Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, andunwise political choices were all factors in the demise of thesesocieties, but other societies found solutions and persisted.Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster toRwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope ininnovative ways. Despite our own society’s apparently inexhaustiblewealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs havebegun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas likeMontana.
Brilliant, illuminating, and immenselyabsorbing, Collapse is destined to take its place as one of theessential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How canour world best avoid committing ecological suicide?
