520    Examines the human response to existential threats--once a
       matter for theology, but now looming before us in multiple
       forms. 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.
