Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed By Jared Diamond
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. Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives.

(show) Skeptic Book Club: Collapse by Jared Diamond Collapse By Jared DiamondBook Group 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? (added from Barnes & Noble) Jared Diamond Jared Diamond Jared Diamond - Author Talk & Book Signing Jared Diamond - Author Talk & Book Signing Professor Jared Diamond Public Lecture and Book Launch From visionary prize-winning author Professor Jared Diamond comes ' The World Until Yesterday: What We Can Learn From Traditional Societies', an epic and ground breaking journey into our rapidly receding past. Drawing extensively on his decades of working in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, hear as Professor Diamond explores how tribal societies approach essential human problems, from childrearing to conflict resolution to health, and outlines we have much to learn from traditional ways of life.
Professor Diamond will unearth remarkable findings, from the reason why modern afflictions like diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer’s are virtually non-existent in tribal societies, to the surprising benefits of multilingualism.
Professor Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the seminal, million-copy-bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME’s best non-fiction books of all time, and Collapse, a number one international bestseller. A professor of geography at UCLA and noted polymath, Diamond’s work has been influential in the fields of anthropology, biology, ornithology, ecology and history, among others.
Book signings available after the lecture.
