"The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell." --Dag Hammarskjöld, United Nations Secretary-General 1953-1961 The turn of the 21st century was an objective low point in the history of human health: AIDS was scourging Africa, millions of women died each year in child birth, and billions suffered under malnourishment and poverty. In response, the United Nations launched its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), an ambitious charter that since 2000 has measurably reduced the worldwide burdens of poverty, hunger, and disease. With the MDGs set to expire in 2015, continued progress on these fronts is anything but certain. In addition to the persisting threats of the 20th century, globalization has sped the development of new threats--pandemics, climate change, chronic disease--that now threaten rich and poor countries equally. "To Save Humanity" is a collection of short, honest essays on what single issue matters most for the future of global health. Authored by the world's leading voices from science, politics, and social advocacy, this collection is both a primer on the major issues of our time and a potential blueprint for post-2015 health and development. This unparalleled collection will provide illuminating and thought-provoking reading for anyone invested in our collective future and well-being.

"Save the People is engaging, funny, affecting and delightful. You’ll never have more fun learning science." --Stuart Gibbs, bestselling author of the Spy School series "Serious science and great gags, with a bit of hope thrown in.” --Steven Sheinkin, bestselling author of Bomb and Fallout An action-packed look at past, present, and future threats to humanity’s survival—with an ultimately reassuring message that humans probably have a few more millennia in us. Scientists estimate that 99% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct. Whoa. So, it's not unreasonable to predict humans are doomed to become fossil records as well. But what could lead to our demise? Supervolcanos? Asteroids? The sun going dark? Climate change? All the above?! Humans—with our big brains, opposable thumbs, and speedy Wi-Fi—may be capable of avoiding most of these nightmares. (The T. rex would be super jealous of our satellites.) But we're also capable of triggering world-ending events. Learning from past catastrophes may be the best way to avoid future disasters. Packed with science, jokes, and black and white illustrations, Save the People! examines the worst-case scenarios that could (but hopefully won’t) cause the greatest mass extinction—our own!

Eminent physicist and economist, Robert Ayres, examines the history of technology as a change agent in society, focusing on societal roots rather than technology as an autonomous, self-perpetuating phenomenon. With rare exceptions, technology is developed in response to societal needs that have evolutionary roots and causes. In our genus Homo, language evolved in response to a need for our ancestors to communicate, both in the moment, and to posterity. A band of hunters had no chance in competition with predators that were larger and faster without this type of organization, which eventually gave birth to writing and music. The steam engine did not leap fully formed from the brain of James Watt. It evolved from a need to pump water out of coal mines, driven by a need to burn coal instead of firewood, in turn due to deforestation. Later, the steam engine made machines and mechanization possible. Even quite simple machines increased human productivity by a factor of hundreds, if not thousands. That was the Industrial Revolution. If we count electricity and the automobile as a second industrial revolution, and the digital computer as the beginning of a third, the world is now on the cusp of a fourth revolution led by microbiology. These industrial revolutions have benefited many in the short term, but devastated the Earths ecosystems. Can technology save the human race from the catastrophic consequences of its past success? That is the question this book will try to answer.

It is hard to absorb this statistics: 99.5% of species that have ever lived are now extinct. There were humanoid species, such a Neanderthal, which became extinct just 40,000 years ago. What should we do to become an evolutionary exception and survive the most dangerous period in human history? How will our lives change with the arrival of Superintelligence? Will it become our best friend helping us fight other existential risks or a dangerous foe? Taming an almost omnipresent Superintelligence (Artificial General Intelligence) will be very difficult. It may gradually infiltrate every fibre of our lives for good or for bad and may ultimately take control over our various freedoms, hopefully for our own good. In this sense, we have opened a Pandora's Box and we will have to live with the consequences of that decision for ever. Today, we are still in charge and one generation away from the point when we may lose control over Superintelligence.But Superintelligence is only one of top 10 existential risks covered by this book, which may wipe out Humanity, such as global nuclear war, synthetic biology, nanotechnology or Global Disorder. To mitigate those risks, we need to introduce some fundamental reforms in democracy, capitalism and wealth distribution. The key problem is that we cannot put faith in the United Nations. Neither do we have time to build such an organisation from scratch, effectively the World Government. Therefore, we need to select an existing organisation that seems to be the best suited for introducing such reforms. This book proposes the European Union, with an entirely new, shallow level of federalization to take up such a role, and suggest concrete, sometimes difficult decisions that need to be taken, including setting new Universal Values of Humanity to reduce the overall level of existential risks.

Humanity is both a witness to and a victim of a cosmic battle taking place between "the Woman clothed with the Sun" and the "huge Red Dragon," the ancient serpent, or Satan. The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, has been appearing on every continent throughout the world to warn of impending chastisements to befall humanity if it does not return to God with faith, prayer and penance. This book lays the blueprint for the Blessed Mother's plan to save humanity. By studying, reflecting upon and comparing key Church-approved messages and secrets, we can trace God's providential and salvific plan, a plan that places Mary at the head of God's cosmic army in battle against Satan for souls, and entrusts her with the task of leading as many souls as possible to her Son through consecration to her Immaculate Heart. Moreover, the final outcome has already been foretold, and we have every reason to hope, for "In the end, [Mary's] Immaculate Heart will triumph!"
