What happens when vast population growth endangers the world’s food supplies? Or our water? Our energy needs, climate, or environment? Or the planet’s biodiversity? What happens if these all become critical at once? Just what is our future?

In ‘ End Game’, world-renowned scientists Anthony Barnosky & Elizabeth Hadly draw on their work to explain the growing threats to humanity as the planet edges towards a resource war for remaining space, food, oil & water.

And as they show, these wars are not the nightmares of a dystopian future but are already happening today. They explore the origins of Ebola in densely populated areas of south-eastern Guinea, witness raging fires in Yellowstone & Colorado & explain how drought-induced food shortages are already causing problems in the Sudan, Gaza Strip & Iraq.

Finally, they ask: at what point will inaction become the break-up of the intricate workings of the global society?
