Sobre este título

 Unlock the secrets of survival with this riveting expedition into the science of disaster—now revised and updated to address the pandemic, the role of social media in disaster response, and more—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World

Disaster can come in many forms, from earthquakes and avalanches to catastrophic machine failure and acts of terror. And afterwards, when the dust settles and the survivors emerge, we can't help but wonder: why them? 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—formal and informal—from a Holocaust survivor who studies heroism to a master gunfighter who learned to overcome the effects of extreme fear. Along the way, we learn about crowd psychology, the neurobiology of fear, and the many other invisible factors that can make the difference between death and survival.

Seamlessly marrying neuroscience, firsthand accounts, and thrilling investigative journalism, The Unthinkable is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered how they would respond in a life-or-death situation—or wanted to increase their odds of surviving one. This revised and updated edition updates all the original research and expands on enormous, slow-moving disasters like pandemics to bring Ripley’s lessons on survivorship into the modern day.
