Rezensionen

"An extraordinary book. Wade tells the stories of ancient peoples experiencing their own apocalypses with vivacity and tenderness. By showing us the ways in which they were transformed-even in the midst of catastrophe-she invites us to turn away from despair and apathy and embrace the creativity and compassion that has made humans so resilient." - Jennifer Raff, author of Origin and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas

"The world has ended many times and usually, amazingly, humans keep going. Rooted in solid science that never loses sight of the human and the possible, this book shows us why good stories and an understanding of history matter more than ever."
- Agustín Fuentes, author of The Creative Spark and professor of anthropology at Princeton University
