Based on case studies from four continents and the North Atlantic, Exploring Apocalyptica argues for a reevaluation of familiar cliches. It shows that environmentalists were less apocalyptic than commonly thought, and other groups were far more enthusiastic. It traces an interconnection with Cold War fears and economic depressions and demonstrates how alarmism faced limits in the Global South.
