Ondergang: waarom zijn sommige beschavingen verdwenen en hoe kan de onze haar ondergang voorkomen?

Diamond’s integration of ecology and history challenges the idea that societal decline is purely political or economic. I'm curious what motivated this interdisciplinary approach.

It made me wonder whether modern societies are truly resilient or just more complexly vulnerable. How do we avoid repeating these collapses?

The examples of deforestation and resource depletion were eye-opening. I’d love to hear if others see parallels with current global issues.
