Acerca de esta escucha

In Jared Diamond’s follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize winning Guns, Germs and Steel, the author explores how climate change, the population explosion, and political discord create the conditions for the collapse of civilization.

Environmental damage, climate change, globalization, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of societies around the world, but some found solutions and persisted. As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Collapse moves 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. 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?

This is book is especially deep. It allows you to get a deep understanding of the world. I'm very satisfied with this book and it has become my favorite book that I have read. I would recommend this Audio from audible as well, to read along as you read. This book is great for anyone willing to input your time and energy into reading it. By the way I'm sixteen, so this book can be read by teenagers with great interest. Don't limit yourself. READ THIS BOOK.

This book is very eye opening and understandable.

Great book, and great narrator. I liked Collapse better than Guns Germs and Steel. I think Diamond had some very convincing arguments in Collapse and the topic of societal collapse by environmental degradation and resource depletion is more relevant to the modern reader. Great book, I've read it twice now. Bravo to the narrator, really enjoyed listening to him.

I appreciate how thorough and in depth the author goes through why ancient civilizations have failed. Then going on to draw parallels to the modern world. Has given me much to think about. Loved it.

Its very good

Finally a logical look at what causes societies to collapse. No doom and gloom or "everything's fine" but a detailed look at the causes of the collapses of numerous societies from ancient history to modern day. Jared Diamond is a voice of reason in the midst of voices tainted by emotion and self interest

Logical Outlook

Very Compelling Case

In my opinion this book should be circulated throughout our educational system so all our future citizens are fully aware of our irrefutable global situation.

Captivating

The content, message and lessons to be learned were very interesting. I would say rather important even. However the narrator and narrative are rather dry and slow most of the time. A good read, but probably not digestible for everyone.

Important info, but dry

Good book, it was a very good look at historical societies that collapsed. Followed by how we as a global society are repeating similar mistakes. Worth a listen, just be ready to dedicate the time.

Long and Informative
