Death From The Skies! by Philip Plait
These Are the Ways the World Will End
A brisk, accessible survey of cosmic and terrestrial catastrophes that could extinguish life on Earth, explaining the science behind threats such as asteroid and comet impacts, solar flares, supernovae and gamma‑ray bursts, rogue black holes and planets, and more speculative hazards; each chapter assesses how each event would unfold, how likely it is, how we detect and predict it, and what (if anything) could be done to prevent or mitigate it, all delivered with clear explanations, humor, and an emphasis on evidence‑based risk and human ingenuity.
