Beschreibung
Every month, surveys around the world ask people to tell them what they are really thinking. The results are at times reassuring, some-times chilling and often unexpected. In The Next Crisis, leading UK geographer Danny Dorling unpacks polling data and shows that our global crises are often very different from what’s in the headlines – and that we need to take these issues very seriously.

Dorling explores our main concerns about the world in order of urgency. What the cost of living shows us about inequality. How the connection between employment and immigration is used to stir up insecurity. Why we are frightened by distant wars. How corruption corrodes care. What we should really be worried about when it comes to climate change – including what the scientists get wrong about people’s fears. And finally, how the great ‘unknown unknowns’ dictate the way we think about the future and what we should be less afraid of: pandemics, asteroids, tsunamis, even each other.

The Next Crisis uses the most up-to-date re-search to redraw our assumptions about where our greatest threats come from. Dorling offers a series of solutions for tackling, or at the very least coming to terms with, our uncertain future.
