  abstract: 'Earth in Flames' discusses how the dinosaurs died and how their deaths parallel what might happen to people after a nuclear war. The book reflects on the odds of future asteroid impacts, how to stop them, and what the readers personally and together can do to prevent a nuclear war, so that humans don't end up like the dinosaurs.
