PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Chris Begley is an underwater archeologist, wilderness survival instructor, and a professor of anthropology at Transylvania University. He has worked and led groups through Central and South America and the Mediterranean. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
Begley digs into cultural apocalyptic fantasies (as reflected in TV, movies, books, and survivalist subcultures) to see how such concepts compare to actual apocalyptic events. This sociological and scientific exploration is a quiet surprise of a book that will make readers question assumptions about civilizational collapse and apocalypses in general... Full of witty anecdotes about survivalism and prepper culture, Begley's book is an absolute joy to read and a hidden gem. --Library Journal An insightful look at the history of natural and man-made disasters and how people have survived them... Extensively researched and evenhanded, this is a valuable resource for preparing for the next crisis. --Publishers Weekly an insightful overview of the fantasies and realities of catastrophes . . . solid popular science. --Kirkus Begley expertly explains how a doomsday can occur (and includes suggestions on short term survival) but goes easy on the doom, preferring knowledge and preparation over fear and panic. --Booklist A calm, practical and fascinating look at the worst 'what if' scenario. --Tristan Gooley
