520    When thinking about political paralysis, looming resource 
       shortages and a rapidly changing climate, many of us can 
       do no better than imagine a future that is just less of 
       the same. But it is during such periods of profound 
       disruption that sweeping cultural change becomes 
       inevitable. In The Five Stages of Collapse, Dmitry Orlov 
       posits a taxonomy of collapse, suggesting that if the 
       first three stages (financial, commercial and political) 
       are met with the appropriate personal and social 
       transformations, then the worst consequences of social and
       cultural collapse can be avoided. Drawing on a detailed 
       examination of both pre- and post-collapse societies, The 
       Five Stages of Collapse provides a unique perspective on 
       the typical characteristics of highly resilient 
       communities. Both successful and unsuccessful adaptations 
       are explored in the areas of finance, commerce, self-
       governance, social organization and culture. Case studies 
       provide a wealth of specifics for each stage of collapse, 
       focusing on the Icelanders, the Russian Mafia, the 
       Pashtuns of Central Asia, the Roma of nowhere in 
       particular and the Ik of East Africa. The Five Stages of 
       Collapse provides a wealth of practical information and a 
       long list of to-do items for those who wish to survive 
       each stage with their health, sanity, friendships, family 
       relationships and sense of humor intact. Shot through with
       Orlov's trademark dark humor, this is an invaluable 
       toolkit for crafting workable post-collapse solutions at 
       the scale of the family and the community.
