Collapse. Why do some societies come to prosperity, while others come to death. Diamond D.

The Pulitzer Prize laureate Jared Diamond is rightfully considered the author of intellectual bestsellers. The newspaper New York Times even called it “Dan Brown of Scientific Literature”.

In this book, Diamond offers a new look at the history of human civilization, the causes of the heyday and death of ancient cultures-the Society of Easter Island, and the Vikings settlements In Greenland, Mayan Indians in America, and also convincingly proves that many modern societies, primarily China and North America, are at a crossroads and in the near future should decide for themselves whether they want to exist further or are ready to die.
