Which will get us first? The super-volcano in Yellowstone Park? An asteroid hurtling towards us from outer space? Black holes from CERN gobbling up the solar system? Or – who knows – alien invasion? Armed with lavish illustrations and their one-of-a-kind “Catastrophometer”, David Darling and Dirk Schulze-Makuch introduce all those disasters you never saw coming, unpicking the hardcore science that makes them all genuine possibilities, and providing everything from survival tips to danger ratings.
