The Knowledge

How To Rebuild Our World After An Apocalypse

Buch

Looks at how the world could be rebuilt from scratch, in the case of a catastrophic event such as a viral pandemic, an asteroid strike or a nuclear war. How would humanity grow food, generate power, prepare medicines, or get metal out of rocks? Brings the fundamentals of science back to a modern world in which we've become disconnected from the basic processes that support our lives.

Über den Autor

LEWIS DARTNELL is a UK Space Agency research fellow at the University of Leicester, in the field of astrobiology and the search for signs of life on Mars. He has won several awards for his science writing, and contributes to the Guardian, The Times and New Scientist. He has also written for television and appeared on BBC Horizon, Sky News, Wonders of the Universe, Stargazing Live, and The Sky at Night. A tireless populariser of science, his theory on how the heisters could have saved the gold bullion in the cliff-hanging ending of The Italian Job was mocked on Have I Got News For You. His two previous books are Life in the Universe: a Beginner's Guide and the illustrated children's book My Tourist's Guide to the Solar System and Beyond. When the world ends, he will be ready to start again.
