In movies, books, and more, our imaginations run wild with visions of dreadful, abandoned cities and returning to the land in a desperate attempt at survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Next Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e, archaeologist Chris Begley argues that we completely misunderstand how disaster works. Examining past collapses of civilizations, such as the Maya and Rome, he argues that these breakdowns are actually less about cataclysmic destruction than they are about long processes of change. In short: it's what happens after the initial uproar that matters. Some people abandon their homes and neighbors; others band together to start anew. As we anticipate our own fate, Begley tells us that it was communities, not lone heroes, who survived past apocalypses-and who will survive the next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFusing archaeology, survivalism, and social criticism, \u003ci\u003eThe Next Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential read for anxious times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56412755722614,"sku":"9781541675285","price":22.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27800695.jpg?v=1759984498","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781541675285-the-next-apocalypse","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
