    Summary: 
    John Simpson has been travelling the world as a journalist for forty years, reporting on the many disasters that have befallen us in that time. Today, at a time when many might legitimately believe that the end of the world is nigh, he takes a rather different view. Troubles in the Middle East, global warming, and population explosion have not caused the world to cease turning, and Simpson's vivid prose, his humanity and clear-sightedness, and the wonderful anecdotes about the many people and places he has come across - from Robert Mugabe to the Bushmen of the Kalahari, from Chelsea to China - all add up to a richly satisfying read.
