Description

World authority on astrophysics, Sir Martin Rees, takes us on a journey through all the things which could wipe out mankind in the near future. From asteroids to disease to scientific discoveries gone wrong (from nanobots to the large Hadron collider) these are scenarios from disaster movies, analysed with a serious scientific eye. Some of these things definitely won’t happen, some genuinely might – this is one book you won’t be able to put down and which you’ll never forget.

About The Author

Sir Martin Rees FRS is the most eminent cosmologist in Britain, the Astronomer Royal and Professor at Cambridge. He lives in Cambridge.

Sir Martin is no doom merchant … His prognostications, written in laymen's language, are all the more chilling for the reasonable tone in which they are expressed
Other text

Alarming, certainly, but alarmist never – Rees delivers his terrible prophecies with donnish understatement
