In his million-copy bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared

Diamond examined how and why Western civilizati*** developed the

technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of

the world. Now in this brilliant companion volume, Diamond probes

the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great

civilizati*** of the past to collapse into ruin, and what can we

learn from their fates?

As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond weaves an

all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating

historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the Polynesian cultures

on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizati*** of the

Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on

Greenland, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe.

Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, and

unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of these

societies, but other societies found soluti*** and persisted.

Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to

Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in

innovative ways. Despite our own society’s apparently inexhaustible

wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have

begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like

Montana.

Brilliant, illuminating, and immensely

absorbing, Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the

essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can

ou***orld best avoid committing ecological suicide?
