An exciting detective story venturing into the extraordinary worlds of our Earth’s past to discover what caused them to end. Brannen describes unimaginable floods, planet-scale catastrophes and incredible creatures that were once common. A cautionary tale for the future of our human age.”— Gaia Vince, author of Adventures in Anthropocene The Second Coming of Christ will not occur until the Great Tribulation when many believe Jesus will return to smite the Antichrist. All those conditions mark the era that began about the time of World War I in 1914. Moreover, since that year, God’s Kingdom has been announced in every corner of the earth, and Jehovah’s Witnesses count it an honor to be closely identified with this work. In fact, their main journal is entitled The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom . At times informative and lightly entertaining, sometimes humourous, depressing and boring for long stretches. The required doomsday scenario at the end with a pinch of hope.about our generation. Do people love themselves today by putting themselves before God and other people? Most certainly. We seem to thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.' I think Brannen does a great job of setting out the rough framework for the history of the Earth and the perserverence of life on Earth through the past five mass extinction events. He nicely minimizes the importance of humans (and the blink of an eye in which we have been around) while emphasizing that the future of extinction events is unavoidable but we could be doing less to hasten along the next. He set out to write a non-fiction, pop culture science book and he has done so. The Ends of the World recounts the breath-taking stories of the five mass extinctions that have punctuated the course of evolution. Its vertiginous sense of the fragility of living things will never leave you, not least because humanity may now be writing the end of Brannen’s riveting tale.

It was so massive that the atmosphere didn’t even make a scratch on it.”

The end will come in two main stages. First, God will destroy organized false religion, portrayed as a prostitute named “ Babylon the Great.” ( Revelation 17:1-5; 18:8) While professing loyalty to God, she has consorted with the world’s political leaders. These very rulers, however, will turn on her. “[They] will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh [or, riches] and completely burn her with fire.”​— Revelation 17:16. The Dot Wiggin Band released a cover of "End of the World" as the last song on their album Ready! Get! Go! (2013), which Shintaro Sakamoto opined "actually sounds like the end of the world."

Good stuff can be found at the paragraph level, but the author did not deliver any chapter that flowed well from start to finish.

Camping misled hundreds of people with his absurd warnings and fake predictions about the end times. This day reminds us to be careful about spreading the word on such sensitive issues. The three central chapters – ‘The outside without thought, or the death of the Other’, ‘Alone at last’, and ‘A World of people’ – present perspectives on the end of the world beyond the Western-centric, modernist view, to include those for whom the world has already ended, for instance, by the virtue of colonial exploitation. Their sense of finality – and, by extension, their sense of the world – is quite different. In this sense, the book pits Latour’s ‘moderns’ (Humans) against non-moderns/Others (Terrans) in a (not-quite-hypothetical) conflict. This conflict is no longer (or primarily) over resources, nor even about the reality of global warming: the Gaia war, authors argue, has virtually become a war of the worlds, the one that would decide the fate of the planet and its future. Are we living in perilous times? There is no doubt about that. Let's just take one example of what is happening today. There are Animal life has been almost entirely wiped out in sudden planet-wide exterminations five times in Earth’s history,” writes Brannen, who notes later, “life on Earth is resilient, but not infinitely so.” An extinction event is defined as “any event in which more than half of the earth’s species go extinct in fewer than a million years.” The author provides an overview of the five major extinction events that have occurred over the last 300 million years, evidence of which are revealed by the fossil record and appear to be correlated with major geological shifts. The most recent event, the extinction of dinosaurs, provides a case in point. The dominant form of life on Earth for more than 200 million years, they were likely felled by two major catastrophes that occurred around 66 million years ago: “the largest asteroid known to have hit any planet in the solar system…hit Earth…[and] one of the largest volcanic eruptions ever smothered parts of India in lava more than 2 miles deep.” Improbably, our planet has survived each of the five major extinctions. Fossils recovered in Ohio give evidence of what appears to have been the first mass extinction, around 450 million years ago, when “a vast tropical sea covered most of present-day North America.” Why this occurred is debatable, but it appears to have been associated with a rapid increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing significant global warming. As the author warns, how we prepare for the possibility of a sixth major extinction event may be “existentially, even cosmologically, consequential.” Though not as in-depth on the future possibilities as some readers may want, the book is entertaining and informative on the geological record and the researchers who study it.Much-needed as a cautionary lesson and a hopeful demonstration of how life on Earth keeps rebounding from destruction.
