the book is by jared diamond collapse: how societies choose to fail or succeed ( there is a pdf on google)
The question:
Why did the Norse begin to migrate away from their homeland?
What geographical challenges did they face as they settled islands in the North
Atlantic like Iceland and Greenland? What was economic and agricultural life like
for the Greenland Norse? Why did the Inuit survive in Greenland while the Norse
went into collapse?
Citations are needed for both quotes and specific references.
Example 1: Diamond points out that deforestation left the Norse with lumber
shortages so they “came to depend on three sources of timber: Siberian
driftwood washed up on the beaches, imported logs from Norway, and trees
felled by the Greenlanders themselves on voyages to the Labrador coast
(“Markland”) discovered in the course of the Vinland explorations.” (249).
Example 2: Diamond points out that deforestation put the Norse in a position
where they had to rely on Siberian driftwood, imported logs from Norway, and
logging trips to Markland on the Labrador coast.” (249).
In the first example, I quoted Diamond directly. In the second example, I
conveyed the information by paraphrasing. I still need a citation to let the reader
know where the information came from.
