Abstract "Danny Dorling explores our principal planetary concerns: what the cost of living shows us about inequality. How the connection between employment and immigration is used to stir up anxiety. Why we are frightened by distant wars. How corruption corrodes care. What we should really be worried about when it comes to climate change-and what the scientists get wrong about people's fears. And, finally, how the great "unknown unknowns" dictate our thoughts about the future and what we could worry about less: pandemics, asteroids, tsunamis, even each other. "The Next Crisis" employs the most up-to-date research to redraw our assumptions about the greatest threats to humanity. Dorling offers a series of solutions to help tackle, or at the very least come to terms with, an uncertain future"-- provided by publisher.
