Novidades - 75 : O fim do mundo ( já em 2012 )

Há um prosimetronista que tem andado a ler umas coisas sobre as profecias apocalípticas do ano 2012. Quando dei pelo lançamento deste livro sobre o tema, não hesitei : tinha de vir aqui para o blogue. Aqui fica a nota de imprensa do editor :

" In the End of Time, award-winning astronomer and Maya researcher Anthony Aveni challenges various media-hyped 2012 doomsday prophecies. He explains their origins and measures them objectively against evidence unearthed by Maya archeologists, iconographers, and epigraphers. He probes the latest information astronomers and earth scientists have gathered on the likelihood of an impeding cataclysm and the oft-proposed link between the Maya long-count cycle and the precession of the equinoxes. With intelligent,engaging writing this book is a must read for anyone wishing to understand the 2012 predictions and our pop culture fascination with an idea of an inevitable apocalypse. "
