‘The Collapse of Complex Societies’ (1988)
(‘A Book in Five Minutes’, No.28)
Some books get a ‘reputation’ as a result of what people believe they say rather than on a detailed reading of the text. Just a word in the title – for example, ‘collapse’ – can be enough to invalidate their content without any appreciation of what they actually say.

Overshoot – The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change (1980) (‘A Book in Five Minutes’, No.27)
Though, ‘Overshoot’, is ostensibly a book about biophysical limits, the theme that runs through it is about the human propensity for denying obvious facts: Our ability to deceive not only others, but more importantly, ourselves.
