Anasazi America

In this compelling exploration, David E. Stuart delves into the rise and sudden decline of the Chaco Anasazi, a powerful society in the American Southwest during the late eleventh century. Through groundbreaking archaeological research, he examines the factors that contributed to their dramatic collapse in just 40 years, including agricultural mismanagement, malnutrition, and a deteriorating decision-making structure. Stuart draws parallels to modern societies, questioning whether we have truly learned from the lessons of the Chaco Anasazi or if we are at risk of a similar downfall.
