| Summary |
The bad news is that thousands of species will die, the climate will change extremely, and natural disasters will rock the world. The good news is that there will be no final nail-the-door-shut apocalypse; Earth will keep throttling from one great crisis to the next. To give a sense of these ongoing upheavals, award-winning nature watcher Craig Childs travels the globe to literal hotspots and drowned land bridges. Remember: We survived the Mayan predictions, but they didn't. |
