We’ll be discussing: Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond
Environmental damage, climate change, globalization, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of societies around the world, but some found solutions and persisted. As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives.

About the Venue
For this month’s book club we’ll be hosting it at the Sacramento Reason Center (http://www.reasoncenter.org/). A price of $1.00 per person is strongly suggested (but don’t let the high price discourage you from attending, we’ll figure out how to pay for everyone attending)
