Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive

by Jared Diamond
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive

Civilizations' demise explained through environment and choices.

If you're fascinated by the rise and fall of ancient civilizations and wonder how their fates could parallel our present challenges, "Collapse" offers a compelling journey through the past. Jared Diamond doesn't just tell a story; he weaves economic, political, and environmental threads to show a pattern that speaks to our times. Reading this book is like having a panoramic view of history's lessons on survival and failure – it's thought-provoking and alarmingly pertinent.

  • California Book Award for Nonfiction (Silver) (2005)
  • Prix du livre sur l'environnement (2007)
