Is the world really coming to an end in 2012? According to the Bible, I Ching and the Mayans it is. And, wouldn't you know it, there are already several rock bands, including Houston's very own Downfall 2012, getting ready to party. "Apocalypse 2012" is cheerful sceptic Laurence E Joseph's investigation into the 2012 Doomsday phenomenon. With its mixture of hard science, investigative reportage and cast of colourful characters, "Apocaplyse 2012" is 'Fast Food Nation' for the terminally paranoid. Journalist and science writer, Laurence E. Joseph is our incisive and witty guide unravelling the religious, astrological and mystical prophecies behind the potentially earth-shattering events of 2012. And, at the core of this book, is Joseph's investigation into the growing number of scientific researchers trying to figure out why conditions around our planet are becoming so bizarre. First published 2007.
