Do you know someone who loves conspiracy theories or is always foretelling doom? This might be just the book for them!
From Blake to latter-day prophets, the human imagination continues to be captured by apocalyptic speculation. In this exploration of end-time ideas and beliefs, Paula Clifford considers this continuing fascination with the end of the world through a colourful array of characters and events.
As fascinating as it is entertaining, this book considers how people have approached the idea of the end of time and places it in the light of contemporary concerns about environmental catastrophes and scientific understanding of the history of the universe.
