Understanding Collapse explores the collapse of ancient
civilisations, such as the Roman Empire, the Maya, and Easter
Island. In this lively survey, Guy D. Middleton critically examines
our ideas about collapse - how we explain it and how we have
constructed potentially misleading myths around collapses - showing
how and why collapse of societies was a much more complex
phenomenon than is often admitted. Rather than positing a single
explanatory model of collapse - economic, social, or environmental
- Middleton gives full consideration to the overlooked resilience
in communities of ancient peoples and the choices that they made.
He offers a fresh interpretation of collapse that will be
accessible to both students and scholars. The book is an engaging,
introductory-level survey of collapse in the archaeology/history
literature, which will be ideal for use in courses on the collapse
of civilizations, sustainability, and climate change. It includes
up-to-date case studies of famous and less well-known examples of
collapses, and is illustrated with 25 black and white
illustrations, 3 line drawings, 16 tables and 18 maps.
