Description
Driven by a clear and compelling argument, this engaging book traces apocalyptic thinking in two civilizations--Western and Maya. Looking both backward and forward, Matthew Restall and Amara Solari build on their previous study, 2012 and the End of the World, to explore the persistence of our civilization's end-of-times anxiety and anticipation.
