Chris Begley is an underwater archaeologist, wilderness survival instructor, and professor of anthropology at Transylvania University. He has worked in Central and South America and the Mediterranean. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Pandemic, climate change, or war - our era is drenched in doomsday flavor. Modern movies, books, and other sources are filled with eerie fantasies of life after the apocalypse. We imagine horrific, abandoned cities and how we return to earth in a desperate attempt to survive. In his book, Chris Begley argues that our ideas about how disaster happens are fundamentally flawed. Using examples of the collapse of past civilizations such as the Maya and the Western Roman Empire, the author shows that rather than collapse by cataclysm, it is a long process of gradual change. Some people abandon their homes and neighbors. Others band together to start anew. What matters most is what happens after the event that triggered this reaction. Begley emphasizes that communities, groups of people, not lone heroes, experienced the end of the world. And so it will be during the next apocalypse.
