Surviving Armageddon

What do earthquakes, magma, asteroid 1950DA, and global warming have in common? Not only are they are all natural disasters already under way, but they are ones scientists are now working to prevent, predict, or at least limit their impact on civilisation as we know it.

Viewed as the natural successor to A Guide to the End of the World, this book provides solutions rather than problems to natural and man-made disasters that threaten our planet, and concludes optimistically with ways to use technology to protect our society from global catastrophe, as well as to foster an environment where all life on earth can thrive.
