The Next Apocalypse: The Art and Science of Survival
14.99 €
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 permeated with the scent of doomsday. Modern films, books, and other sources are filled with terrifying fantasies of life after the apocalypse. We imagine terrible, abandoned cities, and how we return to the earth in a desperate attempt to survive.

In his book, Chris Begley argues that our ideas about how disaster happens are fundamentally wrong. Using the collapse of past civilizations such as the Mayans and the Western Roman Empire, the author shows that it is not a cataclysmic collapse, but 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 triggers this reaction. Begley emphasizes that it was communities, groups of people, who survived the end of the world, not lone heroes. And so it will be in the next apocalypse.
