Great encapsulation, clear and concise. It could use a third part--what to do about it. I realize that's not a simple matter, but parts one and two kind of lead in that direction. And given your particular expertise, it would be interesting to hear your take.

I'm late to these but really enjoying working through the series. I'm wondering if you've followed any of the new research that questions the Maya "collapse" narrative? At least some folks who study that part of the world argue that we can avoid the self-destructive path through the shifting cultivation historically practiced there (clearing forests, moving to new fields, and allowing forests to regenerate...)
