In The Watchmans Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction, American Society biologist and cutting-edge academic Becca · D · Costa bravely explores how people in the modern civilization deal with the fact that the society will collapse one day. Through the research on the history of rise and fall of Maya, Khmer and the Roman Empire, it tells readers that when faced with serious social issues, people tend to resort to expedient measures, rather than finding root of the problem. What is worse, the ""Ostrich Policy"" passes down from generation to generation and people often miss the optimal opportunity to resolve problems.
