In Jared Diamond's follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize winning Guns, Germs and Steel, the author explores how climate change, the population explosion and political discord create the conditions for the collapse of civilization
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. Collapse moves from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. Brilliant, illuminating, and immensely absorbing, Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide?Binding Type: Paperback

Nice suit great value
Size: Medium, Color: Light Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Light Blue
Got this suit for my son to wear to a wedding. It arrived a day or two then the except it delivery. I was concerned if it would fit because of the size chart. He is tall and skinny so I got the medium. When he tried it on it fit him perfectly except the waist was a tad too big but with a belt everything worked. I took it to the cleaned to have them press it. Great value, nice quality material, light weight and comfortable for spring/summer events. The wedding was outdoors. He looked very handsome unit. Was very pleased.

Not Seersucker, more a Blue pinstriped suit.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue
This is not Seersucker!!
Granted the suit will be cool in summer and looks good, but material is a blend.
The pants are very large, while the top fits perfectly.
I’d go with a regular cut, not slim for better fit. But for the price, no complaints.

Great Suit for Hard to Fit Guys
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey
This fit my husband perfectly. The elastic in the waistband is great, he was very comfortable all day. The only complaint is that the material is a little thin.

Sharp as A Tack.
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
This seersucker pinstripe suit is an excellent choice for warmer weather events like spring weddings, prom, or a summer party. The lightweight fabric is highly breathable, keeping you cool while still looking completely polished and sharp. The slim-fit tailoring gives it a modern silhouette, and the light grey pinstripe has a great classic look. It feels well-constructed but remains perfectly comfortable for hours of socializing. It’s a wonderful option if you want a stylish, sophisticated look that beats the heat!
