This volume compares two of the most famous cases of civilizational
collapse, that of the Roman Empire and the Classic Maya world.
First examining the concept of collapse, and how it has been
utilized in the historical, archaeological and anthropological
study of past complex societies, Storey and Storey draw on
extensive archaeological evidence to consider the ultimate failure
of the institutions, infrastructure and material culture of both of
these complex cultures. Detailing the relevant economic, political,
social and environmental factors behind these notable falls, Rome
and the Classic Maya contends that a phenomenon of "slow collapse"
has repeatedly occurred in the course of human history: complex
civilizations are shown to eventually come to an end and give way
to new cultures. Through their analysis of these two ancient case
studies, the authors also present intriguing parallels to the
modern world and offer potential lessons for the future.
