In his million-copy best seller 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?

The Best Book I Ever Hated To Hear!
Revisado: 01-15-10
I read Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" and love his great economy with words and his ability to synthesize and summarize extensive, complicated subjects into a work that is understandable and interesting.
Jared accomplishes a similar task in "Collapse." I found myself looking forward to long walks in the park because I would be able to listen attentively to the audio book while I exercised.
I found the content alarming on many levels. But the information contained in "Collapse" is something that anybody who wants to claim to be a responsible citizen needs to hear.
"Collapse" is the best book I ever hated to hear.
