Afterward, when the dust settles and the survivors emerge, we can't help but wonder: Why did they live when so many others perished? In The Unthinkable, prize-winning journalist Amanda Ripley, who has covered some of the most devastating disasters of our age, sets out to find the answers. To understand the human reaction to chaos and imminent danger, she turns to leading brain scientists, trauma psychologists, and other disaster experts-from a Holocaust survivor who studies heroism to a master gunfighter who learned to overcome extreme fear. Along the way, we learn about the perils of crowd psychology, the elegance of the brain's fear circuits, how leaders can build trust quickly, and other invisible factors that can make the difference between death and survival. A fascinating combination of neuroscience, firsthand accounts, and thrilling investigative journalism, this book is for anyone who has ever wondered how they would respond in a life-and-death situation-or wanted to increase their odds of survival. This new edition updates all the original research and features timely material on enormous, slow-moving disasters such as pandemics and climate catastrophes. Most important, it reveals the brain's ability to do much better-with a little help"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Resilience (Personality trait) $9 77719 650 0 $a Disasters $x Psychological aspects. $9 68467 650 0 $a Disaster relief. $9 68464 650 0 $a Preparedness. $9 74344 650 0 $a Risk management. $9 74802 650 0 $a Emergency management. $9 67022 650 0 $a Crisis intervention (Mental health services) $9 68049 650 0 $a Disaster victims $x Mental health. 650 0 $a Disasters $x Risk assessment. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Ripley, Amanda. $t Unthinkable $b Revised and updated. $d New York : Harmony, [2024] $z 9780307449276 $w (DLC) 2024008295 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240521010626.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A346926173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
