The Anti-Catastrophe League

Tom Ough

'Consummate and thorough' – The Times
'Darkly entertaining' – The Spectator
A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League is a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.
Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.
The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author’s experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race, and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are trying to prevent doom.
The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world – and what we can do about it.
Grounded in non-fiction science, the book moves through biology, nature and social studies to explain why natural disasters and cascading disaster scenarios threaten life—and how the sciences can help. It’s a forward-looking account of the future, focused on relief, preparedness and the hard work of stopping disasters before they begin.
For fans of Steven Pinker (Enlightenment Now), Michael Pollan (This Is Your Mind On Plants), and Derek Thompson (Hit Makers).

Stories of the Sun

Dawn Nelson

For millennia we have looked to the sun to provide us with light, food and warmth. Yet, in our attempts to increase the productivity of each hour, we have skewed our days and stretched them through the use of candles, electricity and LED bulbs, our faces glowing in the unnatural light of screens and electronic devices.
Within the pages of this book lies the chance to reconnect with our primal life force through folklore, exploration of ancient cultures, myths, legends and tales of our past. By understanding the power of our ancient star through the wisdom of those who walked this land before us, we can hope to unplug ourselves from the synthetic glow that surrounds our lives and reconnect with the Stories of the Sun.
