Nuclear weapons, pandemics, global warming: each threatens to destroy the planet, or at least to annihilate our species. Freud, Wuthnow notes, famously taught that the standard psychological response to an overwhelming danger is denial. In fact, Wuthnow argues, the opposite is true: we seek ways of positively meeting the threat, of doing something--anything--even if it's wasteful and time- consuming. It would be one thing if our responses were merely pointless, Wuthnow observes, but they can actually be harmful.--From publisher description. 650 0 Emergency management.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh91000441 650 0 Threats.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85135010 650 0 Fear|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008120313 650 0 Terrorism|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2010116120 650 0 Terrorism|xPsychological aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008112807 650 0 Epidemics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044370|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Epidemics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044370|xPsychological aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Global warming|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh89000812|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Global warming|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh89000812|xPsychological aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Nuclear weapons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85093127|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Nuclear weapons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85093127|xPsychological aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Weapons of mass destruction|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh96004190|xPsychological aspects. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011485 650 0 Weapons of mass destruction|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh96004190|xSocial aspects.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 7 Emergency management.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 908500 650 7 Threats.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1150302 650 7 Fear|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 922048 650 7 Terrorism|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1148143 650 7 Terrorism|xPsychological aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1148132 650 7 Epidemics|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/914088 650 7 Epidemics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/914079 650 7 Epidemics|xPsychological aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/2021850 650 7 Global warming|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/943530 650 7 Global warming.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/943506 650 7 Psychological aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1354086 650 7 Nuclear weapons|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1041001 650 7 Nuclear weapons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1040971 650 7 Nuclear weapons|xPsychological aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1040992 650 7 Weapons of mass destruction.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1173041 650 7 Weapons of mass destruction|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https: //id.worldcat.org/fast/1173045 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 489881 948 |d20100413|cMH|tcheck enrich 650 520|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
