Subtle fold on first two leaves. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. Another copy available. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "In his million-copy bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond examined how and why Western civilizations 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 civilizations 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 civilizations 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 solutions 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 our world best avoid committing ecological suicide? / Jared Diamond is a professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. Among Dr. Diamond's many awards are the National Medal of Science, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship." - Publisher. Very Good/Fine.

Collapse. How societies choose to fail or succeed

2006. Paperback. Pp: 575. From groundbreaking writer and thinker Jared Diamond comes an epic, visionary new book on the mysterious collapse of past civilizations - and what this means for our future. Why do some societies flourish, while others founder? What happened to the people who made the forlorn long-abandoned statues of Easter Island or to the architects of the crumbling Maya pyramids? Will we go the same way, our skyscrapers one day standing derelict and overgrown like the temples at Angkor Wat? Bringing together new evidence from a startling range of sources and piecing together the myriad influences, from climate to culture, that make societies self-destruct, Collapse also shows how unlike our ancestors we can benefit from our knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors. ISBN: 9780140279511. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. the original pages are slightly darkened on the edges, otherwise the book appears to be without damage and free of annotation.Efforts to understand past collapses (of civilisation) have had to confront one major controversy and 4 major complications. The controversy involves resistance to the idea that past peoples (some of them known to be ancestral to people currently alive and focal) did things that contributed to their own decline. We are much more conscious of environmental damage now than we were a few decades ago. – In fact, both extreme sides of this controversy, the racists and the believers in a past Eden – are committing the error of viewing past indigenous people as fundamentally different from (whether inferior to all superior to) modern 1st world peoples. – Pages 8/9 Size: Trade Format Paperback.

Taking us on a rich, compelling journey through history, diamond travels the globe from Haiti to New Guinea, Iceland to the Pacific Islands, to explore the fates of our ancestors. Why, he asks, did the Vikings who once colonised Greenland eventually starve or flee? Why did the Anasazi build the tallest buildings in the united states and then abandon them/..'. Very Good.
