In his million-copy bestseller 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? As in Guns, Germs, and Steel , Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving 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, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe. Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of these societies, but other societies found solutions and persisted. 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?

其實,直接去看Jared Diamond在TED的演講就夠瞭吧。如果不是寫幾韆字的book review不需要全讀。。最後三章(或許讀讀prologue和前兩章)足夠
評分4.9 stars. The demonstration of Easter Island's society.

評分好像也沒講齣什麼來,和看瞭自私的基因後一樣,沒有變化
評分Some chapters are too dry, but some are good and acutely point out the problem of mordern society. Globalization is not always so good in the perspective of environment. Maybe we should really focus back on our local economy instead of importing and exporting so much.
朋友问我,《崩溃》那本书写了什么,是描写大灾难吗? 我告诉她:那本书,写的是社会为什么会走向崩溃。那本书里,戴蒙德说,环境问题一点也不新鲜——“从50000年前智人发展了现代发明、效率和狩猎技能,对环境资源的持续性管理就一直是个难题。”古人根本不是清白无辜、天真...
評分地震发生的时候,我一如往日地在网上闲逛。突如其来的眩晕让我产生了错觉,以为自己的某些身体机能出了问题。等站起身来才意识到眩晕的感觉不是身动也不是心动,是整栋楼都在晃动。接下来的狼狈动作事后想起来都觉得无比羞赧,手机没拿本本没拿房门钥匙没拿书也顾不上衣服也顾...
評分几个星期内断断续续读完这本书。有很多感触。书中有很多观点值得细细品味琢磨。对我震撼最深的是关于卢旺达种族屠杀的分析。因为我之前才看过卢旺达大饭店,以及一些对于卢旺达历史的描述。如果这场人间惨剧不是因为种族仇恨,而是因为自然资源不足而引起的厮杀;如果卢旺达的...

評分1. 本书所研究的崩溃,是指在相当大的地域范围内,历经一段时期,人口数量、政治经济社会复杂性的遽减与衰败。知名的崩溃例子有玛雅、复活节岛、吴哥窟等。作者举的知名例子,多数我没听说过或只听过名字,汗一下。 2. 过去社会自我破坏环境的过程可分为八个种类:森林退化和栖...
