Why Societies Fail: Jared Diamond in Seattle

Jared Diamond, a scientist and Pulitzer Prize-winning nonfiction author, will be in Seattle today (Thursday) to talk about societies of the past that failed.

"Why do societies fall apart?," organizer Town Hall Seattle asks in a press release. "In his global bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond examined why some civilizations flourish. His new book, Collapse, looks at the other side of the coin. What happened to the Anasazi? The Viking colonies of Greenland? Rwanda?"

Dandan will listen for parallels between past cultural groups that broke apart and modern ones that could be on track to do the same. Of course, we can't go in there knowing what the story is, so for part of the time we'll just listen, too.

Date: Thursday, January 12
Place: Town Hall Seattle
Time: Tickets ($5) go on sale at 4.30 and 7 p.m.
