Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
Hardcover Paperback Kindle Edition Audio CD Library BindingIn "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed," Jared Diamond examines the collapse of various societies throughout history, from the ancient Maya to modern-day Rwanda. He argues that environmental damage, climate change, and resource depletion have played major roles in past collapses, and warns that modern societies may be equally vulnerable if they do not make positive changes in their environmental policies and resource management. Diamond also offers some solutions to help prevent the collapse of contemporary societies, including developing sustainable agriculture, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving international cooperation.
