| Summary: | As human society continues to develop, we have increased the risk of large-scale disasters. From health care to infrastructure to national security, systems designed to keep us safe have also heightened the potential for catastrophe.

Drawing on the latest research from leading experts, he provides an accessible overview of the causes and potential effects of these looming megadisasters.
