Di che cosa abbiamo paura, quando parliamo di catastrofi? Quali sono le nostre paure ataviche rispetto alla Terra? E perché abbiamo paura quando non dovremmo e non ne abbiamo quando dovremmo? Questo audiolibro va al fondo delle nostre paure collettive, dalle alluvioni agli asteroidi, dalle eruzioni vulcaniche alle epidemie, con speciale attenzione ai terremoti, drammaticamente attuali. Il problema è che le catastrofi naturali non esistono, esistono gli eventi naturali che trasformiamo in tragedia, spesso grazie al linguaggio iperbolico dei media.

I fenomeni naturali, anche nei loro aspetti più temibili, ci ricordano che la Terra è un pianeta vivo. In particolare il nostro paese è geologicamente fragile: terremoti, eruzioni, frane, inondazioni ricorrono costantemente con effetti devastanti sull'uomo, il territorio, la sua economia. E spesso a un ambiente fisico così difficile si è colpevolmente aggiunta l'incuria e la disattenzione dell'uomo.
