Descripción

No marks or inscriptions. A very clean crisp very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with a little indenting and minor creasing to edges. 213pp. This book examines the immense and varied impact that catastrophic change can have on the development of life on earth. It begins with a chapter on supernovae and the nature of stellar catastrophe and how evolution itself can proceed through genetic jumps. It goes on to discuss natural catastrophes such as earthquakes and cyclones and how these affect human populations. A final chapter provides some unsettling insights into our fundamental incapacity when confronted by major threats to life and health of a medical nature.
