Description

Apocalypse, maybe? No one wants to be the middle child of history. Thinking about surviving the apocalypse feels significant, like we're part of the eternal cosmos, instead of just another organism passing along an infinite timeline. We all want to experience something remarkable in our lifetimes...even if that something results in our own demise.

The End is at Hand forever, including the worlds we inhabit—human society, our planet, or the entire universe.

The End is at Hand entertains as much as it informs, striking a balance of wry humour with scientifically backed research. Author Darrell Perkins complements these cataclysmic tales with finely crafted linocut illustrations that beautifully evoke impending doom.
