파괴된 문명의 역사에서 배우는 인류의 미래! 문명 비판서 《총, 균, 쇠》로 퓰리처상을 받은 작가 재레드 다이아몬드의 『문명의 붕괴(Collapse)』. ‘과거의 위대한 문명사회가 붕괴해서 몰락한 이유가 무엇이고, 그들의 운명에서 무엇을 배울 것인가’라는 문제를 다룬 책이다. 다이아몬드는 이 책에서 ‘붕괴’의 개념을 ‘상당히 넓은 지역에서 오랜 시간 동안 일어난 인구 규모, 정치·사회·경제 현상의 급격한 감소’로 표현하며, 단순한 쇠락이 아닌 완전히 몰락해버린 사회들을 주로 비교·분석한다. 이스터 섬의 폴리네시아 문화에서 시작하여, 아나사지와 마야에서 꽃피웠던 아메리카 원주민들의 문화, 그린란드에 식민지를 개척한 바이킹들의 불행 그리고 현대세계까지 추적해서 재앙의 기본적 패턴을 찾아낸다. 아울러 우리가 자원을 낭비하고 환경이 우리에게 보내는 경고를 무시할 때, 단시간에 많은 나무를 재생산하거나 베어낼 때 어떤 일이 닥치는지 자세히 설명함으로써 경각심을 일깨운다.

From the author of Guns, Germs and Steel, Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive is a visionary study of the mysterious downfall of past civilizations. Now in a revised edition with a new afterword, Jared Diamond's Collapse uncovers the secret behind why some societies flourish, while others founder - and what this means for our future. What happened to the people who made the forlorn long-abandoned statues of Easter Island? What happened to the architects of the crumbling Maya pyramids? Will we go the same way, our skyscrapers one day standing derelict and overgrown like the temples at Angkor Wat? Bringing together new evidence from a startling range of sources and piecing together the myriad influences, from climate to culture, that make societies self-destruct, Jared Diamond's Collapse also shows how - unlike our ancestors - we can benefit from our knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors. 'A grand sweep from a master storyteller of the human race' - Daily Mail 'Riveting, superb, terrifying' - Observer 'Gripping ... the book fulfils its huge ambition, and Diamond is the only man who could have written it' - Economis 'This book shines like all Diamond's work' - Sunday Times

The Collapse is an apocalyptic story for readers who enjoy action, politics, and the heroism of a desperate resistance. It is a cautionary tale of Canada's fate as an anti-industrial frenzy consumes politicians and courts. Today, extremists and radicals attack industry. Indifferent judges cave in to Indigenous demands to block development over vast tracts of land. Craven politicians fawn over industry while inflicting regulations to stop it.
