Contemprorary Books, Best Sellers - Apocalypse Not, RightBooks. Apocalypse Not debunks the alleged global threats to mankind, as well as the scares about asbestos and radon. It fosters respect for calm, objective science, while showing that the enemies of freedom exploit ignorance and cause hysteria. Bolch and Lyons go on to show that, contrary to the believes of some environmentalists, modern society and the growth in population do not threaten our quality of life. In fact, science and industry have enabled more people to live longer, healthier lives than ever before.
Resources are cheaper and more plentiful than any time in history.
In light of those facts, the authors take up the perplexing question of why the environmental movement, with its apparent death wish, has been able to persuade so many people that the human race is doomed. Their answer to that question could help turn the tide that threatens to undo the industrial and scientific revolutions. This book is the book that will restore good sense to thinking about the environment.
