Diamond, Jared. "Why Societies Collapse › Science Features (ABC Science)." Why Societies Collapse › Science Features (ABC Science). N.p., 17 July 2003. Web. 10 Mar. 2014. <http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2003/07/17/2858655.htm>. This online article is a credible source. It is by Jared Diamond, the same author who wrote the book, "Collapse". We have already established that "Collapse" is a very good source, and this article is very similar to the book. In fact, in the article, Diamond summarizes each chapter in the book. Since each chapter in the book explains why a society survived or collapsed, the article is a good source because it gathers the main reasons, that are spread apart in the book, and places in a few paragraphs for each society. So, by reading the section on the Anasazi collapse in the article, we are getting the main reason why the society collapsed.
