First published in 2010, Will Black's entertaining book successfully cut through the rampant misinformation that circulated in the run-up to the Mayan cycle end-date. It was one of the few books about 2012 that did not push beliefs or distort facts and, as a result, became regarded as one of the most coherent on the subject.
As well as exploring 2012 beliefs, Black's book examines the pervasiveness of apocalyptic ideas in religions and cults of all sizes, and within modern politics and culture.
It also highlights many of the real challenges facing contemporary Mayan communities, including gang warfare in Central American countries.
