Asimov takes a tour of the catastrophes that could end life on Earth: cosmic collisions, alterations of the Sun, geological changes, and also disasters caused by human action. With his popularizing style, he explains in each case what we know, what is speculation, and how science allows us to assess those risks.

For readers of essays and popular science interested in astronomy, global risks, and the future of humanity.
