Paradises lost. By Jared Diamond (Discover Magazine, November 1, 1997; online at Internet Archive). “When the mutineers from HMS Bounty landed on Pitcairn Island, they found no people–just a desolate land marked by the relics of a vanished society. The story of that lost civilization is just now being learned. And it’s far more frightening than any tale of Captain Bligh.”
