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?

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4.9 stars. The demonstration of Easter Island's society.
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.

作者按:戴蒙德去年入选全球前十大公共知识分子之列,是我非常喜爱的学者。不过,此书精彩程度并不及他之前的两部著作《枪炮、钢枪和细菌》和《性趣探秘》。 这篇书评刊于《开放时代》2003年第5期。《崩溃》如今已有中文版行世,我大概是国内最早介绍此书的人。 贾雷德.戴蒙...
評分朋友问我,《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《枪炮、病菌与钢铁:人类社会的命运》和《崩溃——社会如何选择成败兴亡》都是贾雷德·戴蒙德的作品,也是人类学方面杰出的普及作品。不过,我都是非常不厚道地看的电子版。 前一本书的视角是非常独特的,从农业起源和地理气候的因素分析人类发展历史中偶然中的微妙必...
評分【读品】罗豫/文 虽然环境问题已成为中国经济高速发展的并发症,赚钱、买房、买车、炒股依旧是中国人日常交流的话语磁场所在。环境问题,最多是饭桌上的“季节性冷盘”,春天沙尘肆虐、夏天洪水汹汹、冬天千里冰封的时候才会得到公众不愉快的关注。说到底,在公共水龙头前贴上...
評分这本书看完以后立刻借给老妈了,而她看书又很慢。因此,写书评的计划就一拖再拖。现在决定写一篇不翻书确认的书评,了结心思。 从书的主旨来讲的,作者可算开宗明义,一上来就把他总结的、导致社会崩溃的生态破坏、气候变化、强敌在侧、友邻衰弱、对策失误等五大因素列出。全...
