A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in Science & Technology

In its 4.5 billion-year history, life on Earth has been almost erased at least half a dozen times: shattered by asteroid impacts, entombed in ice, smothered by methane, and torn apart by unfathomably powerful megavolcanoes. And we know that another global disaster is eventually headed our way. Can we survive it? How? In this brilliantly speculative work of popular science, Annalee Newitz, editor of io9.com, explains that although global disaster is all but inevitable, our chances of long-term species survival are better than ever. Scatter, Adapt, and Remember explores how scientific breakthroughs today will help us avoid disasters tomorrow, from simulating tsunamis or studying central Turkey's ancient underground cities, to cultivating cyanobacteria for "living cities" or designing space elevators to make space colonies cost-effective. Readers of this book will be equipped scientifically, intellectually, and emotionally to face whatever our future holds.

Worth Every Penny!

"I absolutely adore these sandals! They look elegant and minimal, making them perfect for dressing up or keeping it casual. Crucially for me, they are incredibly comfortable. The straps are soft and don't dig in at all, and I could walk in them all day. The quality seems top-notch. Highly recommended!"

For a plus size, tall woman that feet swell these sandals were perfect.They were not tight.They're very comfortable.The straps adjust perfectly and have a little bit of stretch in them.I was able to walk with them with no issue.They actually have great traction on the bottom.And surprisingly very durable.
