| This book is not about global warming per se, just the ostrich-like mindset humans adopt to deal with such problems. This is a very broad look at the collapse of civilisations throughout history and the way societies ignored the environmental problems that eventually did them in. He covers such diverse cultures as the Anasazi of the American Southwest, the Viking colonies in Greenland and modern Rwanda. Not every collapse has an environmental origin, but an eco-meltdown is often the main catalyst. Recommended by Bill Moyers in his address to the Hamilton College graduating class. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
