And yet, despite enormous destruction and very real tragedy, these catastrophes all share one common denominator: we survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eApocalypse\u003c\/em\u003e, Lizzie Wade reframes the story of human history to show how we can learn from these apocalyptic moments, seeing them not just as violent, world-ending events but as moments of progress and transformation.

To weave this unique narrative, Lizzie introduces us to a new generation of archaeologists using cutting-edge technology to tell new stories about our deep past, including flying planes equipped with lasers over Mayan ruins deep in the jungle, scuba diving to the bottom of the ocean, and sequencing the DNA of ancient people to show how we are far more connected to our ancestors than we think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in a gripping style that reads like an Indiana Jones mystery, \u003cem\u003eApocalypse\u003c\/em\u003e offers a refreshingly optimistic take on the crises our own generation and those after us will face – arguing that yes, catastrophes are painful and destructive, but we can and will survive them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46388556955884,"sku":"9780008761424","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780008761424.jpg?v=1745227086"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/lizzie-wade.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
