The End of the World: The Science and Ethics of Human Extinction Tapa dura - 1996
de John Leslie
For thousands of years, the human race has been fascinated and haunted by the idea of the Apocalypse. But it is only now, as we approach the end of the second millennium, that we are beginning to understand the scientific possibilities and real risks that support this primeval fear. This book persuasively explains and analyzes numerous scientifically supported dangers to our world to illustrate that the risk of human extinction is very real.
Descripción de contraportada
Nuclear war, holes in the ozone layer, disease, genetic engineering, asteroids and supernovas - any of these may bring human history to an end. But are we in imminent danger of extinction? John Leslie assesses the risks facing the human race and concludes: yes, we probably are. Leslie pays particular attention to the 'doomsday argument'. This argument, arising from the undeniable fact that we are a very young species, substantially increases the likelihood of our extinction.
