Apocalypse. Disasters of the past, scenarios of the future

This book is about the most ambitious or just terrible catastrophes ever struck on humanity.
Epidemics and natural disasters, war and accidents with enviable regularity were destroyed and destroyed, killed and kill, putting a threat to the very existence of humanity or at least a significant part of it.
Surprisingly, a variety of troubles and attacks are frighteningly similar characteristics ... As a result, five chapters that the authors united into the book, in fact, tell about the actual confrontation of the person and the surrounding world. & quot, nature against man & quot - about natural disasters and epidemics, & quot, technology against man & quot, - about man-made catastrophes and accidents, & quot, money against man & quot - About disasters of socio-economic, wars and crises, & quot, man against man & quot, - About terrorism and fatal mistakes of politicians who were extremely expensive to countries and peoples. The fifth chapter - & quot, the catastrophe, which there was not & quot, - perhaps the most dark, there are possible scenarios of the apocalypse - from natural to military and technological.
A person is ready to re-intimidate himself with paintings of the coming end of the world, without doing anything to prevent or at least prepare for potential catastrophes, which before, and now find us surprise. That is, humanity does not extract any lessons from what happened, and the disasters are repeated again and again, with more and more terrible consequences. Maybe at least a real book will serve as a warning?
