"Mr. Diamond...is a lucid writer with an ability to make arcane scientific concepts readiily accesible to the lay reader, and his case studies of failed cultures are never less than compelling." - The New York Times "...

    Absolutely incredible

    Collapse is hands down my favorite Jared Diamond book. The opening case study he does about Montana and the Bitterroot Valley hit home with this writer given my entire life has been spent scratching out a living in this island state. The story Diamond weaves in this book is absolutely phenomenal and brings to light the fragility of our civilization on planet earth. I truly loved the way Daimond posits the planet as the micronesian islands and archipelagoes of the South Pacific societies that have Collapsed. That analogy lays bare the shrinking of time and space which technology has created and makes plain the shrinking planet and our interdependence on one another. His five point framework for explaining what leads to these collapses is brilliant.

    Fun, Intriguing, Witty, and Enjoyable

    "Collapse" is a superb book. Jared Diamond writes a memorable book that combines vivid examples, referenced research, and personal narrative of experiences and explanations of how various civilizations (through his and other individuals points of view) have succeeded or fallen. He draws on a wide amalgamation of data and examples from a broad variety of fields ranging from varying historical analyses to current word-of-mouth from residents of the locales he touches upon. The writing is clear and concise, data driven, and above all, smooth-flowing. It's both fun and easy to read, written to capture the attention of a wide audience. It's a superb text that can be referenced in courses ranging from biological oceanography to social studies. There are a variety of minor quibbles one can ...

    Great book on Failed societies and Sustainability

    Diamond divides the book into sections about certain societies throughout history. I have read the parts on the Anasazi, Easter Islanders, Norse, and China. For each part, Diamond draws heavily on research from himself and others with real evidence to suggest how each society failed. Not only is this book very informing, it also draws upon the larger questions about how we should all conduct ourselves today. It teaches us what to consider in sustainability practices so that we don't follow the same way. It's definitely an interesting read, but sometimes it can be overbearing with the depth and details Diamond provides. This is good though I think, because it prevents us from making hasty assumptions and connections.

    Very interesting

    I bought this book because Diamond's previous book, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" was required reading for an advanced anthropology course. His in depth discussion of societial collapse and broad research base provides an excellent glimpse into the mysteries of the successes and failures of past societies. Diamond takes an unbiased analytical approach to both past and present societies and gives interesting conclusions about the causes of both environmental and social pressures. Using these examples, Diamond gives a haunting warning to today's First World mega powers and the issues that we all face today. An excellent read for anyone interested in history, anthropology, geography.
