Not sure what topic you are referring to. He wrote "Collapse: How 
Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed", 
http://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Societies-Choose-Fail-Succeed/dp/B000IJ7Q3
2/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208958200&sr=1-1
and "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies ", 
http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393061310/ref=
pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208958200&sr=1-3 . Both of them cover 
land use issues. Both extremely informative and real page turners.
