For the past six weeks or so, I've been reading a book called "Collapse" by Jared Diamond. Basically, it talks about a half dozen or so classical societies, including the Greenland Norse, Maya, and inhabitants of Polynesia-and how their societies folded due to environmental factors. I'll talk about it if I ever decide to I finish it. It's taking a long time, because the only time I get to read is for 10-15 minutes when I go to bed.
Not the most interesting book for me. Even though it sort of deals with history, I'm more into military/political/economic history than environmental. The next book I read is going to be something more along the lines of the Civil War, Founding Fathers, etc.
