Softcover without dust jacket. 1st paperback edition. Book in in fair+ condition due to the extensive underling throughout the text. The content is readable. Some wear and creasing noted to corners. Mild wear to edges with rubbing and scratches to glossy black covers. The theoretical insights of the book and the case-studies the author examines together raise a whole series of new and important questions about the direction and future of all industrial societies. The volume will interest and inform a wide range of archaeologists, social anthropologists, classicists and economic historians, but many outside these specialisms will also fine it stimulating reading.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 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 2000 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.
