The Next Crisis uses the latest research into national and global attitudes to redraw our assumptions about what constitutes the greatest threats to our well-being. Dorling examines what the cost of living tells us about inequality. How the connection between employment and immigration is used to stir up insecurity. Our fears of distant wars. How corruption corrodes care. And what we should really worry about when it comes to climate change - including what the scientists get wrong about people's fears. He delves into the threats we don't consider as well as what we should be less afraid of: pandemics, asteroids, tsunamis - and each other.

The Next Crisis is an important case study in the importance of evidence-based enquiry. In his characteristic conversational style, Danny Dorling urges readers to think beyond the dominant narratives about crises, making use of data to reorient our understanding of what really worries the world. In doing so, he raises the profile of a set of crises that threaten people's sense of the future, outlining the issues in accessible terms and providing an urgent and compelling agenda for action. The Next Crisis is a direct, clear-sighted challenge for those seeking to tackle the problems that matter most.
