Comparing the Slow Collapse of Civilizations

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this detailed comparative study, Rebecca and Glenn Storey examine the cultural changes marking the fall of two well-known ancient complex societies: the Classical Maya and the Ancient Roman Empire. Utilizing the concept of slow collapse, the authors show how the two experienced comparable problems that ultimately led to the parallel processes of decline despite their cultural dissimilarities.
