History’s Worst Predictions is a lighthearted look at fifty of the grandest predictions the world has seen—and how they proved to be spectacularly wrong.

Od najstarších čias má ľudská civilizácia svojich prorokov a vizionárov, ale či sa spoliehali na božskú inšpiráciu, či ich predpovede stáli na vedeckých základoch, alebo vychádzali z ekonomických modelov, prípadne pramenili z vlastnej imaginácie, po prečítaní 50 kapitoliek v knihe Predpovede, ktoré nevyšli zistíte, že aj tí najkvalifikovanejší vizionári občas mali takmer nadprirodzenú schopnosť trafiť úplne vedľa.

A light-hearted look at fifty of the grandest predictions ever made - and how they proved to be spectacularly wrong.

History's Worst Predictions is a lighthearted look at fifty of the grandest predictions the world has seen - and how they proved to be spectacularly wrong. Every aspect of human life - religion, politics, science, economy, culture and war - has provided material for the most far-fetched and inaccurate of predictions. The book asks why we are still here, given that the end of the world has been foretold over 200 times, including: for 1833 by William Miller, who claimed to be in direct contact with God, and for 1997 by Nostradamus, king of the poor prediction. This beautifully illustrated, full-colour volume contains photographs and maps that bring each chapter to life, depicting the people and institutions responsible for some of the most infamous predictions in human history.
