Modern-day Cassandras clearly predicted the disasters of Katrina, Fukushima, the Great Recession, the rise of ISIS, and many others. Like her, they were ignored. There are others right now warning of impending disasters, but how do we know which warnings are likely to be right? Through riveting explorations in a variety of fields, the authors uncover a method to separate the accurate Cassandras from the crazy doomsayers."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 361.0014 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.0014 Clarke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.0014 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.0014 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
