Cataclysm. The concept has haunted humanity since the beginning of time. Provoked by the promise of deific wrath or ecological annihilation, our greatest fears are based on apocalyptic threats to our existence. Thrust into a new ice age by nature’s fury, MASS EXTINCTION answers the question of how life would survive in a world devoid of natural food, water and air. In it, mankind is forced to reconsider the human condition and where the line between morality and mortality is drawn. The slim chance of survival is based on what is found, what is bartered and what is taken by force. The Earth has become a frigid, inhospitable wasteland. Ankhologies, the last vestiges of civilization, are totalitarian ecosystems that serve as homes to the governing and the governed. Using remnants scrounged from the bygone era, these megapolis structures have evolved independently to create their own technological and social order. Each is charged with the preservation of our way of life by any means necessary. MASS EXTINCTION is our greatest fear: to wake up and find the world we know is gone instantaneously, forever, and we were utterly incapable of stopping it. Получить ссылку |

Extinction: Evolution and the End of Man
Автор: Michael Boulter
Год издания:
How long do humans have left on Earth? Using cutting-edge science that revolutionises our understanding of evolution, Michael Boulter explains how we may be closer to our own extinction than we imagined.Sixty-five million years ago the dinosaurs were destroyed in a mass extinction event that could not have been predicted. Out of the devastation, new life developed and the world regained its natural equilibrium. Until now. Scientists, employing radically new perspectives on the science of life, are beginning to uncover signs of a similar event on the horizon. The end of man.Michael Boulter reveals extraordinary new insights that scientists are only now beginning to understand about the past, the rise and fall of species and the nature of life.‘Extinction’ is an immaculately researched introduction into the new developments in the science of life as well as a chilling account of the effects that humans have had on the planet. The world will adapt and survive – humanity will not.‘Extinction’ raises some radical insights into our view of the world: Nature is in a balance, in which all parts interact and create harmony. This harmony is organised from the inside – it is a self-organising system. In a self-organising system the whole is more important than its parts. One method of this system is extinction – if the system is disrupted it will do what it has to correct itself.
