«Colapso: Por qué unas sociedades perduran y otras desaparecen» is the essay by Jared Diamond, published by Debolsillo in paperback (768 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the Maya, Easter Island and the Anasazi, Jared Diamond analyzes why some societies collapse while others endure. Drawing on history, ecology, economics and anthropology, he also studies success stories such as Iceland and Japan, and examines whether we can apply those lessons to face today's environmental challenges.
Translation by Ricardo García Pérez. Original title: Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive. Part of the Essay | History collection.
