A review by aizataffendi
The Last Tree on Easter Island by Jared Diamond

5.0

A short book which presents evidence-backed theories of how the supposed nonchalant and egoistic Easter islanders of the past have brought down their own civilization. Years of overconsumption have left them destitute, so much so that they had to resort to cannibalism. What was once home to subtropical forests filled with an abundance of flora and fauna, is now left barren with not a single tree left standing!
