Description

In How Stuff Works, Marshall Brain explained how our world functions; now he explains how everything ends. Brain dives into a range of doomsday narratives, including manmade events such as a deadly pandemic and nuclear warfare; devastating natural phenomena, such as a super-volcano eruption; and science-fiction scenarios where robots take over or aliens invade. Brain describes each situation, the science behind it, and ways to prevent or prepare for its occurrence. With images throughout, this is the last book you'll read about the last days on Earth.
