Climate change. Nuclear devastation. Bio-hazard. The Large Hadron Collider. What do these things have in common? They all have the potential to end our world. Every great scientific creation of man is balanced by an equal amount of danger - there's no progress without risk. "Armageddon Science" is an authoritative look at real mad science at work today, willingly putting life on Earth at risk for the pursuit of knowledge and personal gain. This book explores the reality of the dangers that science poses to the human race, from the classic fear of nuclear destruction to the latest possibilities for annihilation. Combining the science behind those threats with an understanding of the real people responsible and an assessment of the likelihood of the end of the world, this isn't a disaster movie, it's "Armageddon Science".
