Jared Diamond is an American scientist, author, and professor of geography at UCLA. He is best known for Guns, Germs, and Steel, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed examines why some civilisations throughout history have thrived while others have collapsed, drawing on case studies from the Maya to modern Montana.
