The Next Apocalypse The Art and Science of Survival [Audiobook]

Examining past collapses of civilizations, such as the Maya and Rome, he argues that these breakdowns are actually less about cataclysmic destruction than they are about long processes of change. In short: It's what happens after the initial uproar that matters. Some people abandon their homes and neighbors; others band together to start anew. As we anticipate our own fate, Begley tells us that it was communities, not lone heroes, who survived past apocalypses - and who will survive the next. Fusing archaeology, survivalism, and social criticism, The Next Apocalypse is an essential listen for anxious times.
