There are between one and two million near-Earth objects (NEOs) --
chunks of space rock whose orbits may pass within 30 million miles of
Earth -- that pose a significant impact threat to the planet. Of the
4,535 NEOs detected and tracked (704 of which are real whoppers), none

| Book: The Collapse of Complex Societies
|
|
| posted on Saturday, September 08, 2007
|
|
Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The
Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will
therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any
explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study
of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both
the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of
collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then
develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among
diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the
processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and
Chacoan collapses.

His famously analytical mind worked out the laws of gravity and unravelled the motion of the planets. And when it came to predicting the end of the world, Sir Isaac Newton was just as precise. He believed the Apocalypse would come in 2060 -- exactly 1,260 years
after the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire, according to a recently
