About the Book

Jared Diamond se pregunta como unas sociedades que han desaparecido sin apenas dejar huella de su evolucion han alcanzado una prospera civilizacion material y cultural.

A traves de sus amplios conocimientos en sociologia, economia, linguistica, biologia o antropologia, Diamond trata de explicar la desaparicion de sociedades del pasado y se pregunta si podemos aprender la leccion y evitar desastres parecidos en el futuro.

El punto de partida es una rigurosa investigacion de los casos de culturas que no han perdurado: historias tragicas como la de los mayas, la de la Isla de Pascua o la de los indios anasazi en Norteamerica; historias menos terribles como la de Islandia o de Japon, culturas que han sabido reaccionar con exito a desafios ambientales; historias tambien de vencedores y vencidos, como el caso de la Republica Dominicana y de Haiti, dos pueblos que a pesar de compartir el mismo medio ambiente han evolucionado de modos muy distintos, y finalmente historias aun abiertas como las de China o Australia, que estan buscando soluciones innovadoras a sus desafios ecologicos y sociales.

Que leccion podemos aprender del pasado?Esta nuestro futuro en peligro?Las respuestas que ofrece este libro no son catastroficas, pero al mismo tiempo nos advierten de la urgencia de tomar decisiones cuanto antes si queremos seguir admirando las ruinas de otros pueblos que nos han precedido.

Uno de los proyectos intelectuales mas significativos de nuestra generacion.

The New York Times

En conjunto, Armas, germenes y acero y Colapso representan uno de los proyectos mas importantes en los que se ha embarcado ningun intelectual de nuestra generacion.

Gregg Easterbrook, The New York Time Book Review

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Jared Diamonds 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 societys 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?
