What happens after The End? As social animals, humans can only be traveling loners for so long; we naturally form communities. These eighteen post-apocalyptic tales focus on the phoenix, not the ashes. After the death of a world, you start to consider the things that really matter: transportation woes; seeking family; personal freedom, social conventions; defining love and hope; and making the best of new worlds.

Adam Ferguson's Essay on the History of Civil Society (first published in 1767) is a classic of the Scottish--and European--Enlightenment. Drawing on such diverse sources as classical authors and contemporary travel literature, Ferguson combines a subtle analysis of modern commercial society with a critique of its abandonment of civic and communal virtues. Central themes in Ferguson's theory of citizenship are conflict, play, political participation and military valor. The Essay is a bold and novel attempt to reclaim the tradition of active citizenship in the modern state.
