COLLAPSE: How Societies Choose To Fail Or Survive

Abstract

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive by Jared Diamond revolves around the ominous notion that societies manipulate their destiny based on ecological perspicacity. Diamond compels readers to consider why through history, particular societies flourished, while others waned into oblivion. Do the jungle-festooned relics of ancient civilizations hold cryptic lessons relevant to the modern world? Diamond believes so and to decipher these, guides readers through an inter-continental time voyage to demystify the self-induced phenomenon of ?ecocide?.
