Global Catastrophes and Trends Smil Vaclav
Fundamental change occurs most often in one of two ways: as a fatal discontinuity, a sudden catastrophic event that is potentially world changing, or as a persistent, gradual trend. In this provocative book, scientist Vaclav Smil takes a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look at the catastrophes and trends the next fifty years may bring. Global catastrophes include volcanic eruptions, viral pandemics, wars, and large-scale terrorist attacks; trends are demographic, environmental, economic, and political shifts that unfold over time.
Instead, Smil argues that understanding change will help us reverse negative trends and minimize the risk of catastrophe. Global Catastrophes and Trends does not come down on the side of either doom-and-gloom scenarios or techno-euphoria.
