Jared Diamond at Arizona State University

Jared Diamond, author of Guns Germs and Steel, is coming to campus on Feb 2, 2006. I am pretty excited. The lecture will be related to his most recent book Collapse: How Societies Choose or Fail to Succeed. I haven’t read the book yet, but hopefully can read some of it before his talk.

I am jealous!

Actually, I was surprised to see the flyer. Funny thing is I wasn't able to find anything on the ASU website about his talk. It's organized by the ASU Global Institute of Sustainability.

Here's a link to the PBS show by the same name:

Try to get the DVD, if you didn't see it already.
