And it's nothing new: As a species we've been surviving-and evolving from-apocalypses for as long as we've walked the Earth. So, we're capable of dealing with them, surviving them, and yes, thriving through them. In A Field Guide to the Apocalypse, cooperation theorist and zombie enthusiast Athena Aktipis has assembled a lively, unexpected field guide to help readers mentally and practically prepare for current and future apocalyptic events. She begins by teaching readers to overcome the main obstacle in surviving an apocalypse: fear. And then trains them on how to make smart decisions based on historic precedent, human psychology, and brain science. Illustrated with 2-color illustrations throughout that both teach and entertain, the book is organized into five chapters that guide readers through our history with apocalypses, how we're evolved to survive them by cooperating with each other, and how to thrive amidst our multi-apocalyptic reality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Resilience (Personality trait) 650 0 $a Fear. 650 0 $a Psychology. 650 0 $a Survival. 650 0 $a Apocalypse in mass media. 650 0 $a End of the world $v Humor. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / General. $2 bisacsh. 650 7 $a Fear $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922034. 650 7 $a Psychology $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081447. 650 7 $a Resilience (Personality trait) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095573. 655 7 $a Humor. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Smith, Neil, $d 1980- $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93B21C6E383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
