灾难反应群体行为应急准备
Discover how human beings react to danger–and what makes the difference between life and death Today, nine out of ten Americans live in places at significant risk of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorism, or other disasters. Tomorrow, some of us will have to make split-second choices to save ourselves and our families. How will we react? What will it feel like? Will we be heroes or victims? In her quest to answer these questions, award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley traces human responses to some of recent history’s epic disasters, from the explosion of the Mont Blanc munitions ship in 1917–one of the biggest explosions before the invention of the atomic bomb–to the journeys of the 15,000 people who found their way out of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. To understand the science behind the stories, Ripley turns to leading brain scientists, trauma psychologists, and other disaster experts. She even has her own brain examined by military researchers and experiences, through realistic simulations, what it might be like to survive a plane crash into the ocean or to escape a raging fire. Ripley comes back with precious wisdom about the surprising humanity of crowds, the elegance of the brain’s fear circuits, and the stunning inadequacy of many of our evolutionary responses. Most unexpectedly, she discovers the brain’s ability to do much, much better–with just a little help.

了解人类如何应对危险,以及生死攸关的因素。如今,十分之九的美国人生活在遭受地震、飓风、龙卷风、恐怖主义或其他灾害风险极大的地区。明天,我们中的一些人将不得不做出瞬间选择来拯救自己和家人。我们会如何反应?会是什么感觉?我们会成为英雄还是受害者?为了回答这些问题,屡获殊荣的记者阿曼达·里普利 (Amanda Ripley) 追踪了人类对近代历史上一些史诗般灾难的反应,从 1917 年勃朗峰军火船爆炸(原子弹发明前最大的爆炸之一)到 2001 年 9 月 11 日 15,000 人逃出世贸中心的旅程。为了了解这些故事背后的科学原理,里普利求助于领先大脑科学家、创伤心理学家和其他灾难专家。她甚至让军事研究人员检查了她自己的大脑,并通过现实模拟体验了在飞机坠入海洋中幸存或逃离熊熊大火的情况。里普利带着宝贵的智慧回来了,关于人群令人惊讶的人性、大脑恐惧回路的优雅以及我们许多进化反应的惊人不足。最出乎意料的是,她发现大脑有能力做得更好,只需一点帮助。
