First examining the concept of collapse, and how it has been utilized in the historical, archaeological and anthropological study of past complex societies, Storey and Storey draw on extensive archaeological evidence to consider the ultimate failure of the institutions, infrastructure and material culture of both of these complex cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetailing the relevant economic, political, social and environmental factors behind these notable falls, \u003cem\u003eRome\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand the Classic Maya\u003c\/em\u003e contends that a phenomenon of \"slow collapse\" has repeatedly occurred in the course of human history: complex civilizations are shown to eventually come to an end and give way to new cultures. Through their analysis of these two ancient case studies, the authors also present intriguing parallels to the modern world and offer potential lessons for the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Storey, Glenn R.
