Über diesen Titel

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2,000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan, and Chacoan collapses.

The book itself is is fantastically interesting. However the text is on the dense side, with every sentence packed with information. Which means that when it's read really fast, it's not that easy to follow. And when the speed was turned down, he sounded like a drawling texan who was so bored he could only speak in a monotone. I would have loved to hear this book read at a more sensible pace.

Very interesting book, but the reading was too fast
