Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the prehistoric Polynesian culture of Easter Island to the formerly flourishing Native American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya, the doomed medieval Viking colony on Greenland, and finally to the modern world, Diamond traces a pattern of catastrophe, spelling out what happens when we squander our resources ignore the signals our environment gives us. 0aSocial historyvCase studies. 0aSocial changevCase studies. 0aEnvironmental policyvCase studies.1 aMurney, Christopher.4nrt423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1204/2005582413-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1204/2005582413-d.html
