Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond

Fascinating. Awesome. Terrifying. Required reading. The book boils down to all the environmental problems that destroyed the Anasazi, the Maya, Easter Island, etc. and what that means for our blatant disregard for natural resources and pollution today. Yiiiiiiiiiikes. I love Diamond's writing style, and while I'm not sure all his conclusion make 100% sense, it's still terrifying to even think about.

Grade: A
