| Zusammenfassung: | Understanding Catastrophe examines the immense and varied impact that catastrophic change can have on the development of life on earth. Opening with a remarkable account of supernovae and the nature of stellar catastrophe, it then examines the way evolution itself can proceed through genetic jumps of catastrophic proportions. The primal forces of the earth, manifested in such natural catastrophes as earthquakes and cyclones, and the devastating impact these can have even today on human populations across the world receive extended scrutiny as does the power of famine historically in determining the future of humankind. To conclude, a fascinating final chapter on changing medical and social attitudes to epidemic diseases such as tuberculosis offers--in the age of AIDS particularly--some unsettling insights into our fundamental incapacity when confronted by major threats to life and health The book originates in the fifth annual series of Darwin College Lectures, delivered in Cambridge in 1990 under the title 'Catastrophes'. The contributors include Robert Kirshner on Stellar Catastrophe; Walter Alvarez on the Extinction of the Dinosaurs; Martin Rudwick on Darwin and Catastrophe; Christopher Zeeman on Catastrophe and Evolution; Claudio Vita Finzi on Earthquakes; Nicholas Cook on Storms and Cyclones; Peter Garnsey on Famine and History; and Roy Porter on Changing Attitudes to Disease |
