{ "item_title" : "Everything Ends", "item_author" : [" Logan Townsend "], "item_description" : "In February 2021, a winter storm killed 246 people in Texas. Not one of them was killed by another person.They died of cold, carbon monoxide, road accidents and interrupted medical care. Almost every death was preventable with cheap, unglamorous things: an alarm, a warm room, a neighbour who knocked. Meanwhile the survival industry sells knives, rifles and freeze-dried buckets for a disaster that almost never happens.Everything Ends is about the disasters that do. It joins the science of what is actually likely to what you should do about it, and it is frequently funny along the way.Inside, you'll find out: Why every catastrophe, from a solar storm to a pandemic, arrives as some mix of the same seven failures: power, water, food, warmth, medicine, information and order. Prepare for those and you have prepared for most of what could actually happen.How likely each end really is, from grid collapse and nuclear war to supervolcanoes, climate breakdown and artificial intelligence, with the strength of the evidence behind every estimate set out plainly.What to do in the first hour of any emergency, including the four-minute job almost everyone leaves too late.Why panic is a myth, why ordinary people help each other in a crisis, and why knowing your neighbours protects you better than anything you can buy.How to find, clean and store water, feed a household for months, stay warm or cool without power, and look after each other when no doctor is coming.Why fleeing by car is usually the wrong call: when Hurricane Rita threatened Texas, the evacuation killed around thirty times as many people as the storm did.How to run a street fairly when nobody is in charge, and how to stay sane when a crisis drags on for months.It takes zombies seriously enough to disprove them on thermodynamics (the flies win), puts an honest label on every number, carries no affiliate links, and argues against buying most of what the preparedness industry sells.Illustrated throughout with more than a hundred drawings, diagrams and action cards, plus checklists, worksheets to copy, and a single page of things you can do this weekend that cost nothing.Written for readers anywhere, with advice for hot, humid and cold climates, and for anyone rattled by the last few years who has no intention of buying a bunker.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/027/9798160278780_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "24.95", "online_price" : "24.95", "our_price" : "24.95", "club_price" : "24.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
