Title: Diamond in the Rough
Review: Jared Diamond is at his best when he takes a simple question and finds the answer by ransacking the cluttered annals of biology, history, geography, anthropology and archeology, as he does in Collapse.Mr. Diamond sometimes weakens his otherwise fine work with gratuitious conjecture, and, like his earlier books, Collapse could benefit from less indulgent editing, but these nits are easily forgiven when reading a book this ambitious and important.
