In Jared Diamond's follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize winning Guns, Germs and Steel, the author explores how climate change, the population explosion and political discord create the conditions for the collapse of civilization

Environmental damage, climate change, globalization, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of societies around the world, but some found solutions and persisted. As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Collapse moves from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana.

Brilliant, illuminating, and immensely absorbing, Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide?

Best dog toys
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy, Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
These are hands down the best dog toys. My dog loves to play fetch and tug with them and they hold up. They obviously don’t last forever but every other toy brand (bark and kong) tear within one play session and cost double the price. Like I said, they won’t last forever but they have been the most durable and fun toys for my dog to play with.

Good for smaller dog
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
It is certainly a dog toy. If you couldn’t tell by the pictures they are easy to tear.

Love this assortment of fun plush dog toys!
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
My Yorkshire terrier just turned a year old, and this assortment of plush toys was his b-day gift. They have been a hit! We both like the soft, corduroy-like fabric and squeakers. Though the description says that these are good for medium or large dogs, I'd say they are a good size for small to medium-sized dogs. He's a 4-lb dog, and I'd say that these are a good size for him. My sister's 14-lb Shorkie has the purple dinosaur, and it's been his favorite toy since he took it from a dog sitter 2.5 years ago. He can usually tear soft toys up in 1-2 days. My little guy tears up some soft plush toys in 5-7 days. He's had these for a week now, and so far, so good. They appear to be sturdy. Time will tell… Loving them so far!

Sturdy and cute
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
I have a husky mix puppy, 6 mos. It’s been about a month now and though a few are a little tattered and one has a squeaker that is almost dead ; they are all whole ! This is with her playing with them all day everyday. They are super cute too. Would buy again
