Author: Lawrence E. Joseph

Rating: 4/5

Inside Jacket Snippet: ‘…This book will convince you that there is a nonnegligible chance that the year 2012 will be more tumultuous, catastrophic, … than any other year in human history. …’

Comments: The ideas covered in this book are really interesting, but I didn’t care for how the author always hedged his own support. Say when he travelled all the way to Russia to interview a super smart dude with lots of data, but ends with a maybe/maybe-not attitude for a conclusion. I would have enjoyed the book better if he said at the start that he is personally not qualified or trained to pass judgement on any of the following ideas, but you can check the end notes for his opinion piece on advanced space physics he has never studied. Overall, still a good book to read that summarises all the major 2012 scenarios.
