Description

From the author of Guns, Germs and Steel, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive by Jared Diamond is a visionary study of the mysterious collapse of ancient civilizations. In its new revised edition with a new epilogue, Collapse reveals the secret behind why some societies thrive while others collapse – and what this means for our future.

What happened to the people who created the sorrowful long-abandoned statues of Easter Island? What happened to the architects of the collapsing Maya pyramids? Will we follow the same path, with our skyscrapers one day lying in ruins and covered by nature like the temples at Angkor Wat?

Bringing together new evidence from an astonishing range of sources and combining the numerous influences, from climate to culture, that lead to self-destruction, Collapse also shows how – unlike our ancestors – we can benefit from the knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors.
